Listless Monday, Retellings and Such Like

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!

I know you might be getting sick of hearing about it, but I created a list of books that will fit into the challenge I'm hosting, Classic Double Challenge, and I finally got the list set up with links!  So, here is a collection of retellings, sequels, prequels, tie-ins, and other generally "inspired by" books (with the originals, as best I could tell).  This list is anything but comprehensive, since the more popular works (notably Jane Austen and Shakespeare) have so many spin offs and such that I couldn't list them all if a wanted.  Thus, a sprinkling of them, plucked from my random knowledge (and with many thanks to those with suggestions, notably Melissa of Life: Merging).  Feel free to offer suggestions of some of your favorites!
