“Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.”- from the dedication in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis
I have always been a fan of fairy tales, especially through the various retellings I have read over the years. It's interesting to see the directions an author will take an old tale. One of my book series that I'm writing has fairytale retellings along with Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Peter Pan, etc. I have written the first book in this series and am about 90,000 words into the second. It is one of my proudest achievements.
Here are many of my favorite books that deal with fairy tales whether that be through the classics, retellings of the classics, or brand new ones. I may just have to find a fairy tale to read tonight before bed.
