Variations on Favorite Stories

This guide collects retellings, reimaginations, and "fractured" fairy tale stories. This is not a complete list, but a list to get you started. Please search our TEACH Studio catalog to find more titles or ask for help at our service desk.

All of the books on these lists are in the TEACH Studio. 

In our collection, most fairy tales and other traditional literature are shelved under the call number Y 398. However, some variations might be found in the picture book (YE) or full-length fiction (Y) collections, or even in places like poetry (Y 821)!

There are now two traditional literature collections:

• Books in Y 398 or UNI TEACH (Y 398) are shelved with the other nonfiction.
• Books in Historical Y 398 or UNI Youth Hist (Y 398) are shelved in the Historical Collection, on the third floor at Rod Library. Please ask for assistance using or checking out these books.

Clicking on a book will take you to its record in our library catalog, where you can see whether it's available or checked out.

If you find additional titles in the TEACH Studio that belong on these lists, feel free to make suggestions to teachstudio@uni.edu.
