I had a book of a collection of fairytales when I was younger, and one of my favorite stories in that book was “The Twelve Dancing Princesses” - it‘s the only place I had ever come across that story until now. This was a mesmerizing, horror-tinged recreation of that fairytale; I was fully transported into the pages. I‘ve fallen in love with Erin A. Craig‘s atmospheric storytelling!
Retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princesses

First time reading this fairy tale. I didn‘t get to Grimms original tale but I read these two, the tagged one the better of the two as it felt more in the spirit of a Grimms tale. I enjoyed the illustrations more in the non tagged book but the tale was very simplistic and more cutesy.
It‘s so much fun reading the different versions! Each one is slightly different. All the illustrations have been beautiful. Soon I‘ll start the Crown of Twelve: A Twelve Dancing Princesses Novella which is the 1st of the Crowns of the Fae Trilogy ( or novella + duology)
Thanks @TheBookHippie

I saw @Amiable posted her favourite reads from past #AuldLangSpine matches, and I love the idea! As I look forward to reading from @CarolynM's list in 2025, here are my faves from my past awesome matches:
@MeganAnn - The Girls at the Kingfisher Club (historical fiction meets fairy tale retelling at its finest)
@sprainedbrain - Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine
@monalyisha - World of Wonders (so good I've read it twice now!)

They pulled him into the circle with them and danced slowly, so he could follow their steps. Even so, Azalea felt a warmth flicker within her. It was the best dance that had ever done.

pick4✨This book has been on my TBR forever! It is a retelling from the twelve dancing princesses. I‘m going to be honest I never heard of that German made fairy tale, but I‘ll be reading it soon. 12 princess sisters in this retelling are cursed to dance every night for the Stone King with his 12 sons. Naturally, their kingdom is under a spell where they can‘t help, and any prince that tries does! I love fairy tale retellings so this was awesome! 😍
so-so
