  1. Do you have anything specific you’d like to ask from Fairytale Shelf? Here’s your chance to share your opinion!

    • I am NOT interested in “adult” retellings of fairy tales (those with explicit sexual content/descriptions nor do I like super dark or horror versions. I like my stories to end on a happy note.
      Is there a way to filter so I don’t get sent R rated material?

  3. Thank you for the freebies. One of my favourite fairy tales is “Peter Pan” eventhough I know the truth behind it. I also enjoy reading other tales as well. I have recently started collecting Lang’s series of Fairy Books.

    Thank you for giving us readers an opportunity to have modern and re-imagined versions of the tales.

    • I know there is a site where you can get all of the Lang fairy books for free. I think it’s Project Guttenberg.org. The site is totally legal and free. Amazon also has several of the ebooks for free, as late last week. Hope this helps.

        • It certainly is, and most of the books that were originally “scanned” with OCR software have been cleaned up and no longer drive you crazy

  4. Sorry I only requested freebies! I no longer work due to disability and funds are limited.

    Kind regards

    • I know that a few authors write about Russian fairy tales. Are there any countries in particular you’re interested in?

      • I’d be interested in tales from India, Celtic, Native American, and Maori cultures.
        And I love finding variations on a theme from around the world- like the Cinderella story that you can find versions of from all over.
        Thank you so much for this site and for the free stories!

  8. Thank you for the free books I downloaded. I have not read a lot of retelling fairy tales so I am excited for some adult fairy tales 🙂

  11. I love fairy tales, so just whatever you’d like to put in the newsletter will be Great! Thanks!

  12. I enjoy fairy tales, the originals and newer versions. The more recent twists on the old classics are very entertaining and creative. Keep bringing fairy tales and I will keep reading!

    Thank you for the free stories. I am on an extremely limited budget due to medical issues. The reading material helps distract me and it keeps me entertained for many hours on end. I appreciate that more than I can say.

  17. I love fairy tales both the classics and the retellings that have come out over the years. Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan are my favorites but love them all.

  18. I love fairy tales, my favorites are the ones I was told when I was a child, Snow White, Cinderella, Beauty and the beast. I am so glad there is a slot for fairy tales in ebooks now. I use to search Amazon for retelling of fairy tales but these were rare fines. I was so excited to see Fairy tale Shelf

    • Awesome. I thought fairytale retellings needed their own space on the internet 🙂

  20. I never imagined fairytales would get a redo. Would love a new plot for a fairytale not told yet. No one writes new fairytales. Love the retelling twists on new ones too.
