Fairy tale books
Books that grow from fairy tales, whether classic stories for children or retellings for adult readers. Michael Ende's Momo has the timeless feel of a fable, Neil Gaiman's Coraline gives the dark side of fairy tales a modern setting, and Terry Pratchett's Witches Abroad takes apart the idea of happily ever after. Grace Lin's Where the Mountain Meets the Moon draws on Chinese folklore.
