Lyrical and poetic retellings of folk tales?

I find that most books of folk tales are written for mass audience and rather simple and plain. I adored Italo calvino's retelling of Italian folk tales. I've been reading for days maiden, mother, crone by Joanna Harris, a retelling of child ballads and other British folktales. It is by far and away one of the best books I ever read, incredibly poetic and lyrical. Just hoping for suggestions of books like that?
