What are some fairy tale retellings that haven’t made the cut so far that you’d like to read?

My top choices for more of these fairy tale retellings are:

  • Rapunzel
  • Rumpelstiltskin
  • Peter Pan
  • Hansel and Gretel (I know Sweetly came out last year, but I haven’t read it!)
  • The Prince and the Pauper
  • Sleeping Beauty (there are a ton out there, but I just want more. I love this story)

I also really like foreign or cultural stories retold – like Juliet Marillier’s celtic retellings.
