Special thanks to my personal faery friend T for the button art! |
To kick off the return, I wanted to start off with talking about my favorite fairy tales, classic or modern. I have listed my favorite top ten, in no particular order.
- Hansel and Gretel by the Brothers Grimm
- Little Red-Cap (aka Little Red Riding Hood) by the Brothers Grimm
- Rapunzel's Revenge by Shannon Hale
- Strega Nona by Tomie de Paola
- The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale
- Fables by Bill Willingham (graphic novel series, including the spin-offs)
- Cinder by Marissa Meyer
- Kingdom Keepers by Ridley Pearson (series)
- The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly
- The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum
- (Honorable Mention) The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling
Did you see that?!? I had a hard time even narrowing it down to ten! Is it cheating by including the entire series of some books?!?
I truly adore a good fairy tale or fairy tale retelling. I look forward to bringing out my classic tales to begin revisiting them on a regular basis. And, I would love to have you join me!

Are you in? What are your favorite fairy tales, classic or modern? Do you have any tales that you would like to see featured or discussed?
Wow, I have no idea what my favorite would be. I love them all! I'll have to ponder...
ReplyDeleteSuey ... It can be so hard to choose a favorite!! I had a hard time narrowing it down to the ones I listed above!! Sooooo many good ones!!
DeleteYea! So glad you're bringing this back, as I love learning about new-to-me fairy tales! I don't think I have a favorite tale, but do enjoy the ones where the girl saves herself instead of waiting for Prince Charming.
ReplyDeleteAlexia561 ... I love strong female characters in fairy tales who are strong and can hold their own! I'm looking to really focus on tales that are new to me as well. I hope to not repeat anything I even did years ago.
