There are several excellent collections edited by Ellen datlow and/or
Terri Wilding (I think I have those names right) but they have editied other
collections as well - so not everything by themautomatically qualifies.
Sherri Tepper's Beauty is based on sleeping beauty but
also incorporates quite a few other fairy stories, and like anything else by
her is well worth looking for. There is another book called Beauty by Robin
Mckinnle> (based on B and the beast iirc) Joan D Vinge has written a novel
called The Snow Queen based on the HC Anderson story, there are two sequels.
For younger readers (probably upper primary rather than teen) Nicholas Gray
has done some great versions of fairy stories. Gregory maguire "Confessions
of an ugly stepsister" does Cinderella. Angella Carter's "The bloody
chamber" is good but not for the squeamish. Jane Yolen's Briar Rose. The Tam
Lin storyis the basis of pamela Dean's novel of that name and of Diana Wynne
Jone's "Fire and Hemlock"
There are quite a few Cinderella retellings here;
http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/cinderella/themes.html
