Retelling Recommendations

Everybody loves retelling. Either if its mythology or a fairy-tale retelling. We as readers know those books who have become popular due to the type of retelling they are. Fairy tale retellings have become very popular over the past few years. We can see it when these authors are putting their own twists to the stories we have loved and grown up with.
