Beast also features a prince from Persia, after he's turned into a lion he winds up in Europe. <br />Shannon Hale's graphic novel Rapunzel's Revenge, set in the American west, have Calamity Jack (Jack in the Beanstalk fame) as Rapunzel's friend/possible love interest who is part Native American. He is the main character in the sequel.de Pizanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05964044612138432034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7308496865542922193.post-29195410029205833602011-03-01T11:35:14.403-08:002011-03-01T11:35:14.403-08:00Thanks Satia - not familiar with her must look her...Thanks Satia - not familiar with her must look her up!Sayantanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11408914738803274489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7308496865542922193.post-39276821034519776422011-03-01T11:21:58.442-08:002011-03-01T11:21:58.442-08:00Francesca Lia Block has several offerings that wou...Francesca Lia Block has several offerings that would qualify. Her Rose and the Beast book is a collection of fairy-tale retellings including a drug-addicted sleeping beauty and a little girl running away from the wolf of sexual abuse in her own home. <br /><br />She's done a few myths as well, as in <i>Psyche in a Dress</i> and <i>Echo</i>. <br /><br />(I loved <i>Ash</i> and eagerly recommended it to anyone and everyone after reading it. I'm thrilled to see you included it in this post.)Satiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03227625739706115993noreply@blogger.com
