The Byrd Nash Fantasy of Manners, Romantic Fairytale collection is a series of novellas with romantic themes. These magical fairytale retellings feature a light (or sweet/clean) romance in a historical setting full of fairy magic. Some have a Regency setting, and others are Victorian.
These fairytale retellings combining the society manners of Jane Austen, the humorous romantic dialogue of Georgette Heyer, and the magical fantasy elements of Patricia Wrede’s stories to give you a sweet romantic delight. Perfect for Olivia Atwater fans.
Appropriate for 12+ up readers. Some contain a little mild cursing.
What is a fairytale retelling?
Fairytale themes such as fairy curses and magic (which the how-is-it-done? is never explained), talking beasts, strange beings that aid or obstruct, and how an ordinary person must use their wits to win, is what I like to use in my fairytales.
For me, keeping the heart of the story (such as the Beast is under a curse and only true love can save him) is important, but the tale needs a fresh perspective for readers to enjoy. A fairytale retelling is NOT a faithful replay of another author or creator’s fairytale. For example, my Beauty and the Beast draws upon several movies, as well as the original fairytale, but also re-imagines the story with my own spin.
Each standalone tale is appropriate for ages 12+. These books are written for a wide range of readers, but not all of my books are appropriate for younger readers so be sure to check the rating before selecting.
