I really love the idea of fairy tale retellings. They're so much fun to read! When I started thinking about it, I realized I haven't actually read many of the original fairy tales. I'm familiar with the basic idea of the story (from movies or other pop culture) but I hadn't read the story. I thought about making my way through some fairy tales by reading the original story and then reading a retelling or two of it.
Project Fairy Tale is a month long project being run by Alison at The Cheap Reader. A bunch of re-telling aficionados have gotten together and each picked a fairy tale for which they'll read the original and at least three re-tellings this month. I'm doing Robin Hood :) You can check out the list below for more details and links to the other bloggers involved.
I love the story of Robin Hood, I’m excited to see your posts!

Thanks! I enjoy re-tellings and am excited to see what everyone else reads
This sounds fun! I hope you find some great adaptations.
Thanks! I love adaptations and I’m excited to get started
So interesting! I am currently reading a collection of Grimm’s fairy tales, and realize that with a lot of the tales, i remember some key scenes, but not the real narrative. By the way, maybe this is interesting for you, too, about fairy tales: there’s a literary online course which started some days ago at Coursera, and their first week is dedicated to fairy tales. here’s my blog post on my fairy reads, with lit link included: 4 reads: desert books & fairy tales
Thanks for sharing the Coursera info
I love re-tellings, but I am also excited to learn more about the originals since I’ve often heard that the Disney versions are nothing like the Brothers Grimm!
