If you would like to take a trip into the world of re-imagined classics why not start with [[Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys]], a poignant retelling of ''Jane Eyre'' from the viewpoint of the marginalised character of the madwoman in the attic who becomes flesh and blood or the joyously tongue-in-cheek [[Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith]] which delights in action packed undead mayhem. If you prefer something gentler find Sara Crewe's forgotten friends in the select seminary in [[Wishing For Tomorrow by Hilary McKay]] or join Pooh bear in [[Return to the Hundred Acre Wood by David Benedictus]]. Before reading ''Wild Wood'' why not revisit [[The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame]]. If sharp satire is more your style experience the craziness of war in [[Catch 22 by Joseph Heller]] or even marvel at something completely different with [[The Lunar Chronicles: Cinder by Marissa Meyer]], a fantastic retelling of Cinderella in a futuristic plague ridden world. It ain't no fairytale and like "Wild Wood" has observations to make on social inequality.
