The moderator of this site has a wonderful site, called Sur La Lune,
that has a great reading list. Try this link - www.surlalunefairytales.com
To mention a few -
(I want to say someone Pope is the author, the name is currently escaping me.) The Perilous Guard, a retelling of Tam Lin.
I'm reading Juliet Marillier's Daughter of the Forest right now and enjoying it. This is a retelling of the Six Swans.

Thanks
That's nice, I see the Mirror, Mirror collection listed under anthologies! Thanks. Incidentally, I also have a novel, The Complete Tales of Ketzia Gold, which includes retellings of German, Yiddish and Russian tales. It is not aimed at young adult readers, but I have done a couple of high school residencies where the students have read the novel, and grasped (and liked) it! Not to bang my own teakettle, as my grandmother would say . . .

Re: Thanks
I read the Juliet Marillier trilogy and loved it. The Wild Swans is one of my favorite fairy tales. Tanith Lee does some really great retellings as well. White as Snow and I believe she did Deerskin as well are both very good retellings.

Re: Thanks
Actually, Robin McKinley wrote Deerskin, another one of the best authors for novel length fairy tale retellings.

Anthologies
Actually, except for the title story, FAERY FLAG is not an anthology of retellings. But the following of my collections are:
NOT ONE DAMSEL IN DISTRESS (YA, female hero tales)
THE FISH PRINCE and other Merman stories (YA and adult)
ONCE UPON A BEDTIME STORY (for younger children)
MIRROR, MIRROR: 40 FOlktales for Mothers and Daughters to Share
FAVORITE FOLKTALES FROM AROUND THE WORLD (an anthology, but not retold)
and upcoming:
MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD (YA--boy heroes using wits and not swords)
MEOW (for young children--cat folk tales)
FAIRY TALE FEASTS (children's cookbook with retold fairy tales)
and possibly a stories-from-the-ballets book

re: any more
Donald Barthelme "Snow White"
Neil Gaiman "Snow, Glass Apples"
Anne Sexton "Transformations"
... of course none of these are particularly suited for children.

Rebecca Lickiss 'Never After' (newly released)
