Watch for Tanith Lee’s incredible title story; my favorite “Little Red Riding Hood” ever!
One of my very favorites--a werewolf story that’s anything but horror.
My favorite book of 2007! “Twelve Dancing Princesses,” in medieval Transylvania.
A magical take on four classic stories. Not to be missed.
My all-time favorite retelling, pure magic through and through.
Winter Rose by Patricia A. McKillip
A haunting, lyrical blend of “Tam-Lin” and “Goblin Market” (and one of my absolute favorites!).
Snow by Tracy Lynn
A steampunk “Snow White.” Loads of fun!
Melusine by Lynn Reid Banks
A spooky, surprising, and magical take on a medieval French legend, set in the modern French countryside.
Inside the Walls of Troy by Clemence McLaren
Helen and Cassandra tell their stories of life in the city under seige.
Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier
A rich and enthralling adventure set in ancient Ireland (and another girl who sews!).
Breath by Donna Jo Napoli
The Pied Piper, in pitch-perfect historical fiction. This one stars a boy, but we’ll let it pass.
Shylock’s Daughter by Mirjam Pressler
A fascinating new view of Shakespeare’s Venice.
Enchantment by Orson Scott Card
A delicious mix of old and new, with a Russian twist.
Lost in the Labyrinth by Patrice Kindl
Lose yourself in the ancient Greek myth of Ariadne and the Minotaur.
Sunlight and Shadow by Cameron Dokey
Mozart’s “Magic Flute” in a charming, romantic story.
Watching the Roses by Adele Geras
Lovely but serious modern adaptation of “Sleeping Beauty.”
The Garden by Elsie V. Aidinoff
You’ll never look at Adam and Eve the same way again.
Retold fairy tales, myths, and legends, with all the wonder of the originals, plus some surprising new elements.
