Fairy Tale Novels:

I love fairy tales immense amounts. Of course, I'm also frustrated by actions that have no motivations which means I get the best of both worlds in modern re-writes of old favorites. I also list other books that feel like fairy tales to me. If you know of a book I haven't listed, please, please, email me so I can read it--err, add it to the list. ;) Many thanks to my friends and Kristen, a visitor, who have made contributions to this list.
