I have found a lot of fairy tale retellings that didn't fit into the big mainstream fairy tale posts (like Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, etc.), so now it's time to compile those :-) (As there are so many titles, to avoid making a monster long post I'll only include the cover and when you click on the link it will take you on to read the blurb.)
