Fairy Tale Retellings

Disenchanted: A fractured fairytale by Arielle Snow

Fairy Tale Retellings is a genre that reimagines classic fairy tales with fresh perspectives, unique twists, or modern settings, while preserving the magical elements, themes, and archetypes of the original stories. These retellings often explore deeper character development, alternative outcomes, or darker, more mature interpretations of familiar tales.

Common themes include love, transformation, bravery, justice, and the battle between good and evil, reinterpreted through new genres such as fantasy, romance, historical fiction, or even science fiction. Characters like princes, princesses, witches, and beasts are given complex motivations and expanded roles, creating engaging and imaginative narratives.

Fairy Tale Retellings appeal to readers who enjoy nostalgic yet innovative stories, blending the timeless charm of fairy tales with modern storytelling, rich world-building, and inventive reimaginings.
