Today, we are talking about fairy tale "twists." At least, I like to call them twists. A fairy tale twist is where someone takes a classic fairy tale and changes a few things, but keeps the original story, to make it different. Examples of these are: Princess of the Midnight Ball by Jessica Day George, The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer, and many others. Princess of the Midnight Ball is a twist on "The Twelve Dancing Princesses." Cinder, the first in The Lunar Chronicles, is a twist on Cinderella. What fairy tale twists have you read?

I think The Door by the Staircase is my new favorite! Thanks for the recommendation! A Russian Baba Yaga story, it is intriguing and unusual!
