Recs if you like Birdwing...

No Hans Christian Andersen on this list. Retellings based on...Twelve Dancing Princesses, Cinderella, The Goose Girl, Snow White, Snow White + Rose Red, Rapunzel, Hansel + Gretel, Rumplestiltskin, Bluebeard, Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, The Frog Prince, King Thrushbeard, The Pied Piper, The Six Swans, The Brave Little Tailor, Bearskin, Puss in Boots, Allerleirauh, The Wolf + the Fox, The Pink, Maid Maleen, Brother + Sister, The Golden Goose, The Six Swans, etc. As always… no Gaiman

Because my original list is Grimm Brothers specifically, there are other retellings out there that are similar but are listed as retellings of the very similar Hans Christian Andersen tale "The Wild Swans." Here, some of the books may be listed as retellings of/referencing both tales, but for ones that only reference "The Wild Swans," I have not included them in this list.

Fiction featuring humans turning into birds — and vice versa.

This is not a shapeshifter list.

SISTER LISTS: Strange Transformations: Insect Style | Strange Transformations: Canid Style | Strange Transformations: Small Mammal Style

YA fiction retelling, inspired by, and about fairy tales, published for teens between 1990 and 2009.

Idk how they (birds) found me, but everywhere I've gone since i found Mail Order Wings in an elementary school classroom library I've been followed by human-avian hybrid body horror themes in books ¯_(ツ)_/¯
