Series Recommendation: The Hagenheim Series


My first series recommendation is Melanie Dickerson's Christian, historical fairytale retelling series, known as her Hagenheim series. There's 11 books, all standalone, but I'd recommend reading them in order to get the best experience.


The books in order are:

The Healer's Apprentice– a Sleeping Beauty retelling

The Merchant's Daughter– a Beauty and the Beast retelling

The Fairest Beauty– a Snow White Retelling

The Captive Maiden– a Cinderella retelling

The Princess Spy– a The Frog Prince retelling

The Golden Braid– a Rapunzel retelling

The Silent Songbird– a Little Mermaid retelling

The Orphan's Wish– an Aladdin retelling

The Warrior Maiden– a Mulan retelling

The Piper's Pursuit– a Pipe Piper retelling

The Peasant's Dream– a reversed, or gender bent, Cinderella retelling


The Healer's Apprentice is about Rose and Wilhelm, The Merchant's Daughter is about Annabel and Ranulf, and the rest of the books are about their children. I love how they're connected, and you get to see characters from previous books in the others!

I absolutely LOVE these books, and can't recommend them enough!! The later ones aren't the best, but they're still worth the read. My favorites are The Healer's Apprentice, The Merchant's Daughter, The Captive Maiden, The Warrior Maiden, and The Piper's Pursuit, but they're all good. XD


Every one of these books have beautiful romance, intriguing plots, impactful messages of faith, humor, amazing Medieval history, and are all completely clean!

You can buy them on Amazon or any other retail store.
