It has to be Hazel and Gretel as we spen many hours playing in the woods building dens and hoping to see the Gingerbread House.

The Hobbit

The Water Babies - I loved Mrsdoasyouwouldbedoneby. The message was to treat everyone as you would like to be treated yourself, a very important lesson to learn.

Cinderella as she got her prince in the end!

The Boy Who Cried Wolf - such a powerful story with a message that resonated.

All the Beatrix Potter books and the Famous Five. Even now as an adult I'm inclined to pick one up to read. My children loved them too.

The elves and the shoemaker I have always been a champion of the underdog. To this day I love to help where I can.

Peter Pan as I would have loved to fly (far, far away).

Snow White. I loved the film and the animation here pretty Rosie apple face and the music. All so innocent

The Princess and the Pea was my favourite story when I was a child as I used to ask my Mum if it was real ?

The Ugly Duckling for me as well - used to love hearing the song on Uncle Mac's favourites on the radio

Goldilocks and the 3 Bears. I can still hear my father's voice reading it, with a different voice for each bear. And we still say 'who's been sitting in MY chair?'. My grandchildren love this too.(Anyone else remember - and enjoy - stories that would now be considered politically incorrect, such as Epaminondous I wonder?)

The ugly duckling. Oh, how I hoped to turn out to be a swan!

Cinderellas my favourite, didn’t like the awful sisters, but was so pleased she got her prince in the end and it all ended happily for her, true fairy tale.

Rapunzel. I always wanted to have such long hair, and I did for a while, but the doctor told my Mum to have it cut short as it was taking all the goodness out of my body!

Little Red Riding Hood for me!

The Ugly Duckling - I used to think I suppose there is hope for me yet

The Three Little Pigs was my favourite. Despite being young, I understood the message embedded within the story.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. My Mum took me and my younger sister to see it at the local cinema when I was about 5. I think she just wanted to see it herself! My sister hid her face when the wicked stepmother appeared on the screen - I can still see that horrible, crooked nose now, over 50 years later!

Hansel and Gretel the gingerbread house inspired me to build my own gingerbread house in my native Country Finland

Cinderella, such a feel good, everything ends well story, and I still love it!

I loved the story of Beauty and the Beast. It had such a magical ending.

Cinderella, my Dad bought me a Timex watch in a glass slipper for my birthday.

Sleeping Beauty for me - so romantic!

Snow White and the Seven Dwarves (had the Disney sticker book when I was ill as a child and dreamed of a life in a cottage in the countryside surrounded by animals - which is where I am now!)
