I want to second the recommendation for Juliet Marillier's HEART'S BLOOD, which was one of my favorite books this year. And also Heather Tomlinson's TOADS AND DIAMONDS. So good!<br /><br />~ecbAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-37019753478964185452010-12-20T07:10:29.075-05:002010-12-20T07:10:29.075-05:00I love retellings!

She has a somewhat re-telling of Beauty and the Beast too called Heart's Blood, which is also quite good. <br /><br />And Sandell's interpretation of Elaine and the others does something few others do: it's fair to both the women and the men. <br /><br />I actually loved Jane too. I read it last month. I liked how it came together. <br /><br />Also, have you read Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow? I just forgot the author, but it's a lovely re-telling - I can't really say of which story because I think the author based it on Norten European folk tales, but I know of a German folk tale with similar elements. <br /><br />Anyway, I'll check out those others you mentioned (and sorry for the long post).<br /><br />Happy Holidays,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-91886767759965580292010-12-19T22:44:38.715-05:002010-12-19T22:44:38.715-05:00Oh, I do love Angieville!

I've been wondering about Jane by April Lindner - I'm always a little more leery about retellings of classics vs. fairy tales.

I've read all of them except for Outlaws of Sherwood (which I really should bump up my list since it's a McKinley), Lady of the Forest and Song of the Sparrow (the latter two, already added in my wishlist).Chachichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10216391673830772231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-52045688671259306032010-12-19T18:02:17.849-05:002010-12-19T18:02:17.849-05:00Great list.
