In The Retold Tales Book Club, we will explore a range of retellings, from classic novels and timeless fairy tales to myths, legends, and folklore from around the world. Whether it's a modern take on a Shakespearean play, a contemporary twist on a Greek myth, or a reimagining of a beloved fairy tale, we're here to explore the creativity and imagination of authors who breathe new life into old stories.
Join us as we discuss the unique perspectives, themes, and characterizations found in retellings. From analyzing how these stories reinvent the familiar to exploring the ways in which they reflect and comment on our own world, this book club will try to offer a fresh and engaging look at the power of storytelling across cultures and generations.
You can read the just the retelling, or the retelling and the original. It's up to you as your time allows.
For December we've chosen Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson
Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson is a reimagining of the classic Peter Pan tale, told from the perspective of Tinker Bell. The story follows Tiger Lily, a fierce and independent girl in Neverland, as she becomes captivated by Peter Pan, the enigmatic leader of the Lost Boys.
