I have pulled Children's Lit as my genre for Book Group this year, and rather than plump for one particular book, I thought it would be interesting to look at reworked fairy tales - partly inspired by the thread on "King and King".

SO I am after recommendations for any of your favourites. I thought I would get hold of a few aimed at younger kids which could be flicked through and shared around:
The THree Litle Wolves and The Big Bad Pig
The Stinky Cheeseman

and then one (or two at most) longer books aimed at older teens - a RObin Kinley like SPindles End.

WHat do you think?

The rather borderline YA/adult book "Tender Morsels" by Margo Lanagan is a re-working of Snow White & Rose Red, but it is for aged 16+ for definite because of the story and themes.

Neil Gaiman's Snow White story - "Snow, Glass, Apples" - www.holycow.com/dreaming/stories/snow-glass-apples

Thanks Dandy Dan - I haven't heard of those and they sound like the kind of thing I am after.
