Ursula Vernon is one of my all-time favorite fantasy writers, and it’s criminal that her work isn't better known. Her stories are thoroughly engrossing and often laugh-out-loud funny. I love the wise women, determined girls, talking animals, and deep sense of practicality found throughout her work. Fairy tales and folktales take a prize place in her work, and I've included several retellings among my recommendations.

Ursula Vernon also writes as T. Kingfisher, and the stories I share here are written under both names. For her longer work, T. Kingfisher usually denotes adult fiction compared to her work for children, but her short stories tend to vary in tone, whether or not they're written under the name "Ursula Vernon." She’s one of my go-to authors for lighter, happier stories, but she’s got a few darker ones as well. The stories below are some of my favorite by her, and they span the gamut of her work, from light-hearted fairy tale retellings to a couple of stories with a darker edge. I hope you love them as much as I do! Read more... )
