My Top Ten Retellings
One of my favorite kind of books is one that twists a fairy tale into something new. So I am doing this a little different in that I am going to mention the fairy tale then the book.
Cinderella:
This first book in the Lunar Chronicles was the reason why I love retellings, especially when they involve science fiction.
Beauty and the Beast
Robin McKinley (note this is just one of the retellings she writes for Beauty and the Beast)
Persuasion
I love
Diana Peterfreund retelling of Jane Austen's Persuasion
1001 Nights
This is my favorite so far of Arabian Nights, but I still want to read The Wrath and the Dawn, it looks completely awesome
Jane Eyre
Another awesome combination of Science Fiction and the a classical tale.
Alice inWonderland
So far Splintered is my favorite in this category
Rumpelstiltskin
This one is good, but I think there is another one I am forgetting
Rapunzel- I have read a couple and Cress is on my tbr list, the others are just ok.
This is a retelling of a Grimm fairy tale of the Seven Swans, and one of my favorite books.
Phantom and the Opera, I really liked this book.
That is just a quick list of some of my favorites, I have more to read and others to ponder some more.
I've been hearing so much about Robin McKinley today... I need to check some of her books out! I loved Cinder. I really want to read splintered.
