Answer 1

Cinderella Skeleton, The Egyptian Cinderella, Ye Shen (these are only a few, you can search amazon.com and there are tons of different Cinderella stories from around the world)

Other Fairy Tales

The True Story of The Three Little Pigs
The Three Little Javelinas
The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig
The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales
The Three Pigs (great differentiation of the original)
The Frog Prince Continued
Goldilocks Returns
Yours Truly, Goldilocks
Falling For Rapunzel

There are tons more...this is a short list!!!! I hope this helps out.

Answer 2

You're maybe looking for the wrong thing. Modern fairy tales are all politically correct.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is all wrong. You can't have White as it's racist, but you can have rainbow as in 'Bah Bah Rainbow Sheep' - which is actually taught in UK schools (also taught as Bah Bah Green Sheep).

Snow White is sexist so you'd have to make it non gender specific.

Dwarfs is heightist so you'd have to rephrase that.

Try doing a search for "S Rainbow and the Seven Vertically Challenged Individuals"

Apart from that I can't help you - sorry.

Answer 3

Get a copy of The Stinky Cheese Man

Answer 4

I don't know whether there is a compendium, but I heard the updated Little Red Riding Hood. The wolf actually does eat her, and she actually loves it!

Answer 5

Try the Real Story of the Three Little Pigs, it is told from the perspective of the wolf. That's the only one I can think of.
