25 classics such as Pinocchio (who starred in his own variety show "The Pinocchio Doody Show"), Jack and the Beanstalk (did you know that Jack grew a beanstalk in the outfield so he could catch fly balls for his baseball team?), or King Midas (who became a dentist so he could give his patients gold fillings).

This summer I discovered fairytale retellings. My new obsession.

ElizaMarie So, in this topic.. what books do you recommend? I read the whole Cinder series that I really liked. I was Surprised that I would like a revamped fairy tale. I would love to explore more. Any suggestions/recommendations would be welcomed. 5y
Brewychock48 @ElizaMarie ,now keep in mind I just discovered fairytale retellings. 5y
Brewychock48 @ElizaMarie I have read the Cinder series,loved it. Spelled,by Betsy Schow. It is about Dorothy,from Wizard of Oz. Queen of Hearts,by Colleen Oakes. It is an Alice in Wonderland retelling. Once Upon a Dream, by Liz Braswell. A Sleeping Beauty retelling. I also look on Goodreads for books 5y

ElizaMarie Thanks for the ones you have listed there. Alice is one of my favorite books, so I will probably look at that Queen of Hearts first. Thanks again! Happy Reading! 5y
Brewychock48 Also,Wicked,by Gregory Maguire. About the Wicked Witch of the West,from Wizard of Oz. Also, I read cozy mysteries with a tenuous tie with fairytales. Death of a Mad Hatter for example. 5y
marleed I just read Roar - 30 short stories by Cecilia Ahern. They are wacky and wonderful and best read a story at a time over time. They are ver fairytale-like. Also, I think, better read than audio‘d. I‘ve discovered short stories don‘t register in my head when on audiobook. 5y
Brewychock48 @marleed ,thanks. Just put this on my tbr list😊 5y

As a child, I loved these delightfully twisted tales from the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. I'm sure they are on YouTube if you look 👀
