Here are a few recsA lot of Robin McKinley ' s stuff is fairytale retellings . I love her writing so much . Spindle ' s End is a retelling of The Sleeping Beauty . She has three retellings of Beauty and the Beast . Rose Daughter is my favorite straight up retelling . It has a dreamlike quality at times . Beauty is a more YA retelling . Then there is Sunshine which is furthest away retelling being set in a slight dystopian future featuring a vampire as the ' beast '. Haven ' t read it yet , but The Girls at the Kingfisher Club is a retelling of the 12 Dancing Princesses set during the roaring 20 ' s . Mercedes Lackey has done a ton of retellings as well . Her Elemental Master ' s series are all retellings of fairytales . I ' ve read The Fire Rose which is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast and really enjoyed it . In addition she has some other retellings outside of that series , and also wrote The 500 Kingdoms series which plays around with classic fairytale characters and tropes . Patricia McKillip has written some fairytale retellings as well . I ' d recommend In The Forests of Serre which is a retelling of The Firebird . Diana Wynne Jones ' story Fire and Hemlock is a retelling of Tam Lin and Thomas the Rhymer . There are actually quite a few retellings of Tam Lin out there , I think Pamela Dean wrote one as well . East by Edith Pattou is a retelling of East of the Sun , West of the Moon . Lovely book . I know I am missing a bunch , because there are so very many , but there are some to get you started .
