Listless Monday, Fairy Tale Edition

Listless Monday was inspired by both Amanda at A Bookshelf Monstrosity's feature Books by Theme and Court at Once Upon a Bookshelf's Listed feature.  Be sure to check out their lists!


Since I'm celebrating fairy tales, courtesy of NotNessie of Today's Adventure's Once Upon a Week, I thought I'd post my not-so-comprehensive list of fairy tales.  And these don't even have to be ones that I recognize as a retelling of a familiar tale.  I've included some of my favorite stories that feel like fairy tales, but may not come directly from a particular story.  Be sure to check out Court's List of Fairy Tale Adaptations for more!
