Snow White and rosie red

One of the classics that has always stayed with me has to be The Elves and the Shoemaker. As a child it became attached with the ensuing magic of Christmas Eve and the wonderful intricacies of elf craftmanship, taking raw instruments and natural ingredients to create something purely by hand and hard work; a concept that was of great inspiration and interest at the time. As I evolved with the book it became a better understanding of kindness and importantly the absence of greed; reflecting qualities I admired in my own mother's actions and became a pause button indicator to stop and appreciate what you have whilst also remembering to always give back; a beautiful message I now enjoy sharing with my own daughter.

Snow White I loved the way the animals helped clean the house. A prince came along a woke her with a kiss and they lived happily ever after.

My favourite was Cinderella. I loved the fairytale ending with finding the true owner of the glass slipper!

Peter Pan was my favourite and as a child I lived in a big old Victorian house with my six brothers and sisters. At night at bedtime I would leave a drink and piece of cake by my open sash window and hope that Peter and Tinkerbell would fly in and help themselves but sadly they never did.

Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs - because it just an awesome tale of good vs evil (and it was Disney's first full-length animation feature).

And Hansel & Gretel, because who wouldn't love a house made out of chocolates and sweets!!

It was The Princess & The Pea - it used to fascinate me and often I wished I could have 100 mattresses to climb onto where I could read books by torchlight or have midnight snacks without being caught!

It was Little Red Riding Hood as my mum always said I suited red.

Billy goat gruff... still check for trolls when crossing bridges!..scary

I loved Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. I had the vinyl record of it, so I would listen to it on a weekend afternoon, singing along to all the iconic songs, and took it all so seriously!

The Faraway tree as I used to imagine I lived there and loved all the characters

The Princess and the Pea - I used to love pretending to be the princess in the story

Red Riding Hood definitely, I loved the wolf and his impression of Grandma and imagined that if I was wearing the red cloak, I would have tried to make him my friend

My favourite story was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. I loved reading this story many times.
I used to had a Snow White doll and she was my best friend. Where we live there wasn't any children in my age so this doll was my everything for me. I could have a pretend talk to her about my day at school and friends.

Mine was the elves and the shoemaker I thought it just wonderful that he woke up every morning and a new finished pair of shoes had been made, even as a child I loved shoes and think secretly I had my own elves making some for me every night

Goldilocks and the three bears, I had a very vivid imagination and loved the idea that bears lived in a house and ate porridge

The Ugly Duckling because anyone can grow into something beautiful

It has to be the Ugly Duckling for me - inspirational {smile}

It has to be the ugly duckling, as it gave hope to those that felt alienated and miserable that someday we would also turn into a beautiful swan

Billy Goat Gruff, we would hide under the bed clothes while our dad used a big load voice as the troll, but still loved it

Sleeping Beauty everyone wants a prince in their life

my favourite was Jack and the beanstalk. I was always getting into trouble for daydreaming and forgetting what I'd been asked to do, so I sympathised with Jack who was sent to market to sell the cow but got waylaid by the bean seller and got into trouble for buying beans instead.
I liked the idea that doing something wrong could work out for the best in the end.

Jack and the Beanstalk. I was fascinated by a whole world at the top of a plant

I always loved Rapunsel, I had long hair too. I loved that you could let down her hair to the bottom of a tall tunnel

Definitely Cinderella, I can even remember the Ladybird book with such lovely pictures, especially of the gowns.
