I loved Hansel and Gretel.

The Little Match Girl by Hans Christian Andersen - the saddest tale ever.

Alice in Wonderland. My Mum bought me the book in 1979 and wrote in it and I still have it.

Cinderella

Cinderella has to be my favourite, as it great to see some one down trodden get the ending they deserve and the bullying sisters get theirs

little red riding hood

Bluebeard as it was properly scary.

I loved The Ugly Duckling because it had such a happy ending. I used to go to the local park with mum and dad to visit the ducks very often and they were my favourites. Still love this story even today.

rapunzel as I so wanted to have hair like that

Rumplestiltskin (?) - and I still can't spell it!

the elves and the shoemaker, i used to love to imagine the shoemakers face every morning when he found all the shoes made.

Does The Secret Garden count? I grew up in an old farm cottage with a large garden and used to go on adventures to try and find my very own secret garden.

Cinderella, what little girl could resist the story which starts off horrible and then ends with everybody happy (apart from the 2 ugly sisters). On another matter, my Dad used to say he would take me to the pictures to see The Wizard of Oz, he was fascinated that the black and white film changed into colour part way through, must be something in the genes as my granddaughter also loves the film.

Sleeping Beauty, I also loved Cinderella.

The Ugly Duckling. Although Goldilocks was a close 2nd

The Little Mermaid. I have always been fascinated by the ocean so her story stood out. I admire Ariel's ability to recognize what she wants, and her courage to change her circumstances, no matter how daunting the consequences.

Cinderella - I always wanted to find my prince!

Hansel and Gretel- triumph of good over evil.

The little mermaid, the original version. I have always found it profoundly sad and beautiful at the same time.

I loved the Nutcracker and the Mouse King. Adventure, romance, castles, forests and of course love. What more could you ask from a story! Especially from a very daydreamy child. I loved the story especially at Christmas!

The story about the stone soup. I loved that someone could just use their wits to get something, and that actually everyone comes together to enjoy lovely soup at the end!

Rapunzel was my favourite. I loved the idea of her hair being so beautiful and so long that a Prince could climb up on it rescue her. The Brothers Grimm were supremely talented fairytale writers.

Beauty and the beast so romantic

goldilocks and the three bears was my favourite,i love to hear my mum read this to me time and time again

Sleeping Beauty
