Jessie asked Jessica Day George:

Where do you most of your inspiration for your books? (I've started reading your princess series. want to read the 2nd book) (which was (though you already knew) made in 2009 as the 2nd book was too so it was a decently long period of time since you might of gotten a question, but since i haven't read the series yet it would be really cool to know, or if you just thought it would be cool to make a really good story)

Jessica Day George Well, once again I say: I'm either washing my hair in the shower (which is totally where I came up with using Red Riding Hood for the third princess book) or I'm really tired and want to go to bed instead. With Princess of Glass, though, I was looking for two things: a story for Poppy because she was my favorite princess to write in Midnight Ball, and a fairy tale that involved dancing. The last line of the original Twelve Dancing Princesses is "And they lived happily ever after, and they never danced again." So I needed to play off of that.
