Lol... it's okay, don't be alarmed... well, actually, you might want to be alarmed if you're a fairy tale purist..
They're writers who take traditional fairy tales and "retell" them... give them a bit more depth, maybe take out the magic and explain the happenings of them in terms of more practical solutions, Or they could have them retold from the view of someone who was the villain in the original tale, they just "re-envision" the fairy tales... They can end of being a lot naughtier I suppose lol... but not always... Try reading the summary of "Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister" by Gregory Maguire... or, if you're feeling brave, try this short story which is a retelling of Snow White by Neil Gaiman: http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/lofts/6656/snow.html |
