Anne Bishop writes fantastic books but they are NOT G-Rated, or even PG. Likewise the Kushiel books offer some amazing storytelling.
'Seventh Son (Tales of Alvin Maker, Book 1)' and it's sequels are good. A retelling of sleeping beauty, 'Enchantment', is great. 'Ender's Game (Ender Wiggin Saga)' isn't a fantasy, but has to be one of my favorite books of all time. All by Orson Scott Card

'Beauty : A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast'
'The Hero and the Crown'
'The Blue Sword'
