This challenge would be inclusive of a lot more books if it included retellings of fairy tales. Fairy tales, after all, comprise a mythology (or really, are parts of several mythologies) even if they do not include literal fey creatures.

Of course, my obsessive-compulsive pollution drives me to mention this since I've got lots of fairy tales retold on my lists.


The challenge "rules" state: For this challenge, read 12 books about faerie mythology. (How you interpret this is up to you!)

So, if you would like to read fairy tales, by all means do so! I'm flexible like that.


:D I am so pwning this thing.

For the record, Neil Gaiman's Season of Mists, one of the best story arcs in the Sandman series (which can be read as a stand-alone), features the kingdom of Faerie pretty liberally.
