You might be familiar with the Gingerbread man, but have you met Sourdough Man, or Matzo Ball Boy? What if Cinderella was a boy, Jack was a girl, and The Little Red Hen made pizza instead of bread? Fairytales come from the oral tradition of storytelling, which of course lends itself to many different retellings. These are some of my favourite twisted tales - great starting points for discussing culture, gender, conflict, justice and point of view.
