It takes the traditional Brothers Grimm story and fleshes it out, and though it's nowhere near as long as The Book of Lost Things, the author does continue the story in other books like Enna Burning.<br /><br />In addition, there's Into the Woods, by Lyn Gardner. It combines elements of Hansel and Gretel, Sleeping Beauty and Rapunzel, but is also somewhat similar to A Series of Unfortunate Events in that it follows three (essentially) orphaned children trying to escape a malevolent man.<br /><br />Finally, while it may not be based on any easily recognisable fairytale (as least as far as I can tell), The Book of Lies by James Moloney also shares the theme of the power of names set out in The Book of Lost Things.MrPepperberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149976382043796274noreply@blogger.com
