Inspiration: retelling

Are we running out of good ideas? Has it all been done before? In any event, today's movies, television, and books are full of derivative works: reboots, reinventions, retellings and twisted adaptations.

So this week's prompt is a retelling - and it will be even better if you're already acquainted with the original source works!

What are the most retold stories of all time? This film article says it's the logical problem-solving of Sherlock Holmes, Cinderella's rags-to-riches story and the spine-chilling horror of Dracula and Frankenstein. This article says there are only six core plots to choose, anyway.

Places to find books based on classics:

• Popular classic retelling books on Goodreads
• 16 Retellings of your favorite classic novels on BookBub
• Famous, retold stories in literature on Flavorwire
• Wikipedia's page of Modernized adaptations of old works (broken out by movies, tv, literature, etc.)

Some lists of NEW materials that fit the theme:
