What's a fairy tale that you'd love to adapt that would never work in the Lunar Chronicles series?

Marissa Meyer In addition to Bluebeard (which I mentioned in an earlier answer), I had thought it would be fun to do Puss in Boots as a part of this series, inspired by a short story that I wrote years ago that first inspired these books. But it didn't fit into the plot, so I cut that idea early on. I do love that fairy tale, though. I also have a soft spot in my heart for Rumpelstiltskin, so maybe I could do something with that tale someday.

I would also love to deviate from your traditional Grimm stories and branch out into folk tales from other cultures, which have always fascinated me. I would have to do more research before heading in that direction, though.
