Really dark Alice in Wonderland retelling
So I may be slightly biased since I love anything Alice and Wonderland related. But this is by far the best retelling of the original Lewis Carol story.

Disturbing and dark this book doesn't pussyfoot around some controversial subjects. However, it is able to steer away from anything crude while still being adult and gory.


This isn't a book for the faint-hearted with some wonderful but graphic descriptions. However, if you like dark and gothic definitely give this a try.

I could not put this book down. I was sucked into a new world. A fairy tale retelling of the highest caliber, Stiching Snow has a familiar storyline with delicious twists every time you turn a page!

Fantastic!!
This is a great retelling of Sleeping Beauty. The characters are so well developed and likeable that you can connect with them. There are some scenes that may scare young children. Otherwise a fantastic and emotional at times movie.

It’s a retelling of The Little Mermaid from the Sea Witch’s perspective - it’s more about the Sea Witch and her origin story. (0 more)
It seemed to drag a bit in parts and was a bit disappointing from what I hoped for. (0 more)

Animated retelling of a dickens classic. Never grows tiresome, A big family classic in my household at Christmas. Some scenes were fairly creepy which made the film even better. Lovely animation and a lovely story told with an important message.

Loved the book and read within a couple (0 more)
Loved the book read it within a few hours even though it was a slow start. It's not exactly the same as the beauty and the beast which is great though it is a retelling
