That reminds me–there was an excellent short story I read once in which Snow White’s evil queen was actually the good one, with Snow White herself being horribly evil. It was told from the queen’s point of view and was very well done.

I’d like to see Lieutenant Hornblower told from Hornblower’s POV, if just so I can figure out who the hell pushed Captain Sawyer down the causeway. 
That reminded me of this filksong which I see is based on “Red as Blood” by Tanith Lee. Was that it?
The site you link to mentions The Book of Renfield as yet another case of this:
“The Call of Cthulhu” from Cthulhu’s POV.
John Gardner wrote a novel that tells the Beowulf story from Grendel’s POV, and Leslie Fish once wrote a filksong from the POV of Grendel’s mother.
I believe you’re talking about “Snow, Glass, Apples” by Neil Gaiman. It’s in his “Smoke and Mirrors” short story anthology.
Hornblower did it, of course. He’d shown several times that he was able to make a tough decision in cold blood.
This has actually been done already, in C. Northcote Parkinson’s book The Life and Times of Horatio Hornblower, a biography of C.S. Forester’s hero (You wouldn’t think one was necessary, would you?) he includes, as an appendix, a letter supposedly written by Hornblower explaining what went on during the “hidden” parts of that book:
Hornblower confesses not only to pushing the delusional Captain Sawyer over the brink, but to killing him in his bed during the raid re-taking the ship. He reasons that the captain would have destroyed all his officers in his paranoia, pointlessly.
It’d be pretty repetitive. “Jesus, what a freaking douchebag! Could it get any worse?!”
Heh. Cute.
Although, to be absolutely accurate, the format of Rashomon the film was actually taken from a different story by the same author as Rashomon, titled In a Grove. Actually, aside from setting the framing story at the Rashomon gate, I’m not sure Rashomon the story provided anything at all to Rashomon the film.
Harry Potter series.
The plot of *The Three Musketeers * from Milady’s viewpoint, and her background story.
The Little House books told from Eliza Jane Wilder’s point of view. She was a single woman who staked a claim for herself, and Almanzo mentions at one point in These Happy Golden Years that Eliza Jane was for women’s rights. Laura portrays her as an ineffective meddling bitch, but surely there was more to her than that.
Emma from Miss Bates’s POV. Of course, then the book would have been about 3,000 pages long.
You’re quite right. Both stories were printed in the Grove Press copy of the script of the film, so I’ve read them. Even “In the Grove” doesn’t provide as much as the film does, since the film adds another POV. If you can get your hands on the book, it’s worth it. Besides the script and the stories, it’s got essays as well, along with a partial script of the U.S. remake, The Outrage.
Heh. Pirates of the Caribbean aside, I find this idea intriguing (though I don’t wish to subscribe to your newsletter), what with NaNoWriMo only a month away… 
I think the books from Ron or Hermione’s POV would be fascinating, especially Ron’s. Anyone else would be pretty far removed from a lot of the action, but a Dumbledore- or Voldemort-centric HP series could be pretty cool as well.
Not Miss Bates, but Joan Aiken did write a retake of Emma from Jane Fairfax’s POV.
Read it! And enjoyed it thoroughly!
I haven’t read Renfield: A Slave of Dracula BUT I did read Tim Lucas’ The Book of Renfield: A Gospel of Dracula, which is MUCH more than that.
A great, unjustly OOP novel is KINDA from Dracula’s POV as he starts taking over the mind of Quincey Harker’s grandson - Jeffrey Sackett’s Blood of the Impaler- it’s both a prequel (how Voivode Vlad became Count Dracula) and sequel (how his blood taint in Mina reasserts itself in her descendants),
War of the Worlds from the POV of one of the brave Martian soldiers. Poor misunderstood bastards.
I once wrote a story that was The Time Machine told from the POV of the Morlocks, who have to deal with a pain in the ass who shows up one day and really messes things up.
