There are tons of these, unfortunately for your patron.  Does she remember 
if it was funny or serious, rhymed or prose, big tall book, long short 
book, etc.?  Or even how it ended?

If it's a reasonably serious retelling, it may well just have Grimm or 
Perrault as an author credit, just to complicate things.

I'm not clear if "modern" means just that it was recently published or 
that it was a postmodern jokey retelling, either.  If it's a serious 
retelling, I'd probably first check the version illustrated by Trina 
Schart Hyman, which is one quite likely to pop up in college classes.
