My favourite story was Hansel and Gretel. The truth is that I loved the idea of a house made from sweets, I still have vivid pictures of that in my mind!

Beauty and the Beast - because love conquers all ?

Hansel and Gretel because it was an enchanting but scary story

The Gingerbread Man.
I used to curl up on my Daddy's knee while he told me lots of stories, he used to adapt them all to fit in with people we knew.
The GBM lived in my grandma's chimney but she didn't know until it got blocked and he flew out with the sweep's brush and landed on the railway line. Even when I got a bit too old for fairy stories I'd try to look up the chimney and ask to be lifted up on the bridge to look for the gingerbread man but he was long gone.

Sleeping Beauty. I loved the Ladybird book which told this story. I loved the clothes, especially her wedding dress which I always would have liked, if I'd ever got married - I haven't! Not being invited to the christening resonated with me and still does - it's horrible not being invited to events when you think you should be! Just the idea of being left out - it's hurtful, so I can understand the bad fairy too, not that Sleeping Beauty deserved to die or even sleep for so long! Loved the idea of her parents looking for all the spindles and spinning wheels in the palace and throwing them out! I also loved the drama of the prince cutting through thorns to get to her - only one managed it! He then awakens her from her long sleep and the whole palace too which is covered in cobwebs! I think this story has everything, lots of drama, lots of different characters and, of course, a happy ending!

Peter Pan was my favourite,to be actually flying with Tinkerbell,Wow.
The Billy Goats Gruff terrified me,I had to look under my bed to make sure the troll wasn't there.

Snow White very time! Loved Dopey so much, always wanted to help him!

It would have to be Hansel and Gretel. A story with beautiful imagery, and great life lessons to be learned. Always remember dreaming of the house of sweets! Lovely memories.

Has to be Cinderella, who wouldn't want to ride in a Pumpkin coach and she found her prince despite two nasty sisters.

The Princess and the Pea. I have no idea how many times as a child that I put a pea under my mattress to see if it kept me awake. It never did!

I loved Peter Pan as a child and envied the freedom that he and the List Boys had.

Sleeping Beauty - I’ve spent most of my life dreaming of the day my Prince will come and kiss me to wake me up to a life that’s magical and full of beauty and love....meantime I’ll struggle through with the never ending cycle of work, bills and the mundane!!!

"The Constant Tin Soldier" by Hans Christian Andersen, as told my my late father. I would hang on to his every word and it was so sad.

Sleeping Beauty

I enjoyed Peter & The Wolf, our primary school teacher used to play it to us

Goldilocks and the three bears I was always on the look out for bears when we had our sunday afternoon walk around the woods close to where we lived ???

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. I remember my Dad set up a speaker in my bedroom and played a record downstairs on the record player . I went off to sleep listening to this

Hansel and Gretel - imagine living in a house of sweets! ?

I loved Goldilocks and the three bears, that got me wanting to eat porridge! saying to my Mum ahh that is just right. You always knew what was coming next when Goldilocks tried the porridge, the chairs and the beds. In the end proclaiming things were "Just right" Then the anticipation of those 3 bears coming home to find Goldilocks in their home. I always wanted to know what happened to her when she ran out of the house. My Mum made up different endings each time which was fun. This fairy tale was carried on the same way by me to my daughter who is now 27.

Goldilocks and the three bears- I loved hearing the different voices of mummy, daddy and baby bear, the repetition, that it wasn't too frightening and of course it all ended happily ever after!

I loved Cinderella, her kindness, the romantic story and all about the little glass shoe.

Snow White and the seven dwarfs was my favourite I loved the beautiful Snow White and the dwarfs were so wonderfully funny and worked so hard looking after her. A delightful tale that I loved been read and saw at the cinema, a film to enjoy be frightened off, cry at and laugh a lot.

Cinderella. I loved the dresses and the glamour of the ball. And of course, I loved the handsome prince.

Hansel and Gretel because a house made of sweets was my dream! I would have loved one when I was a kid.

Cinderella, I remember being bought a Cinderella watch with a porcelain ornament of Cinderella by my Father.Happy Memories...
