Classic Fairy Tales Retold for Today
Fairy tales have been part of childhood for generations. They open the door to magical worlds, invite us to follow the adventures of courageous heroes and heroines, and teach values that stay with us long after the story ends. Yet some classic fairy tales contain traditional roles and messages that no longer reflect the world children are growing up in today. That’s why, at Fairy Tales Retold, we retell familiar fairy tales for a new generation – in a contemporary, child-friendly way and with great attention to detail.
Our modern fairy tale books preserve the magic of the stories we know and love while introducing fresh perspectives. Instead of waiting to be rescued, our characters make their own decisions. They show courage, take responsibility and find their own path. Our aim isn’t to completely change the classic fairy tales. Instead, we imagine how they might be written today: with strong characters, modern role models and a diverse world in which more children can see themselves represented.
Familiar Fairy Tales – Retold in Surprising Ways
In our retelling of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”, beauty alone no longer determines who is the fairest of them all. Instead, courage, self-confidence, forgiveness and self-determination take centre stage. Our version of “Cinderella” also offers a fresh perspective, showing just how diverse love, family and a happy ending can be.
The result is a collection of modern fairy tales for children that feel familiar while still offering plenty of surprises. These thoughtful changes also create opportunities for families to talk after reading about friendship, courage, fairness and the many different ways we can choose to live our lives.

Our beautifully illustrated children’s books are perfect for reading and exploring together. The high-quality hardback editions make each book a wonderful companion for many shared reading moments – and a special gift for a birthday, Christmas or simply as a little surprise.
