Stories Retold

We've all grown up with fairy-tales. What I've found out, though, is that the stories I grew up loving can have a dark side indeed. Read through the original Snow White, Rapunzel, and The Little Mermaid...you'll find it just a tad different than what you're used to. Y'know - bloodthirsty step-mothers, mysterious pregnancies, and endings that are definitely not "Happily Ever After". While the tales have been cleaned up and altered over time, there's no denying that they offer amazing possibility. Retellings - when done right - can be some of the most incredible literary works in the world.
