Rulings - my mother was a hairdresser and as childrenwe could sit on our hair ???

little red riding hood loved the big bad wolf great prize fingers crossed i win

Mine was ‘The Musicians of Bremen by The brothers Grimm. I am not sure why I liked this book so much, but still have the book on my book shelves 70 odd years later.

Goldielocks and the three bears, because my dad rarely did bedtime, he was a night shift worker, but when he did, he would tell this story, with voices.

The Fairy Spinner was my favourite- Love-in-a-Mist and her friends, Rosemary and Lavender, are fairy spinners in the Royal household of Queen Petal. Love-in-a Mist gets her prince. Loved this story and also lovely illustrations. Happy memories! So much so, I tracked a replacement copy not that long ago.

Goldilocks and the three bears, I can’t remember anyone reading the story to me but I loved it and would recite it to anyone who would listen. It was a favourite for my children and now my grandchildren, maybe because they laugh at my appalling attempts at different voices for each of the characters.

Snow White and the 7 dwarves because I liked how they all worked together in their little house, and I have black hair, like Snow White!!

I didn't have a favourite fairy tale as such, but my maternal Grandad not only used to read all the usual fairy tales to me, but sometimes told me tales of creatures such as Selkies, Kelpies, Bogles, etc. I loved all of them, because even though I remember being really scared at times, I still felt safe because I was with my Grandad.

I loved hansel and gretel when the house was made out of delicious sweets and they could eat it I always wanted a house of my own made out of sweets so I could do the same

The Three Little Pigs because they all managed to escape the evil clutches of the big bad wolf.

Cinderella. To marry a handsome prince and live happily ever after must have been every little girl’s dream!

Snow White was my favourite. I think it was because I had a dress like hers my Mum made for me.

Cinderella....beautiful story and the gorgeous costumes

It has to be Snow White

I loved the usual ones such as Cinderella (which my children often call me), Pinnochio was another of my favourites. However, I still have my original Ladybird Elves and the Shoemaker which I have always adored and often get out to read. I love the sentiment of the elves helping at night, I always thought my toys came alive when I was asleep. I also have a gorgeous copy of Thumbelina which my Nan bought me back in ‘72 that I reread often, still worrying for her until she is safe ?

Little Red Riding Hood - I wanted to have a red cloak just like she wore and be “little red riding hood”!!

I think most fairy tales contain a cruel element. For that reason I prefer The Elves and the Shoemaker but admit it is a bit bland

The Billy Goats Gruff, because it was deliciously scarey with the lurking troll!

a story about some horses on a merrygo round.i hardly remember it now but i asked my mum to read it over and over again.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears. I think I saw Goldilocks as myself. I had long blonde hair and enjoyed exploring outdoors. My Mother kept the Ladybird books we read these fairytales from as children. I still have them now. The full-colour illustrations really made these fairytales a pleasure to read.

Hansel and Gretel . I loved the gingerbread house ( often make one with the grandchildren around Christmas) and the fact that the children triumphed over the witch.

Has to be Cinderella ....... who wouldn't want a Fairy Godmother!!!

For me it is Hansel and Gretel, because in the end the dear children (who stick together through all adversities) find their own way home to their beloved Dad, who is waiting with open loving arms. A lovely feel good ending for me!

I loved The Little Mermaid - scary in parts - a sad ending but a fantastic story

It has to be Cinderella. What little girl doesnt dream of finding a Prince Charming?
