Do you love The Frog Prince fairy tale? This well known fairy tale has it's own Disney adaptation! And one interesting twist that most modern takes on this fairy tale add is the prince/main male character going through a growth arc (or at least gets his well deserved comeuppance!)
Let's take a look at some fantastic retellings of this Brothers Grimm fairy tale.
The Frog Prince - by K. M. Shea - This is my version in which I heavily gutted the original story because in the original both of the main characters are pretty detestable (if you don't believe me read this other blog post). It features a romance between seemingly arrogant Prince Lucien and the maid assigned to protect the now-very-much-a-frog prince.
Now for the full list! I asked my reader community for their top suggestions (I asked for no spice and low language but check reviews if you have questions about the content). Since these are coming directly from readers you can think of them as a book rec from a friend!
