Little Red Riding Hood because the wolf dressed as grandma sounded so scary

The Three Little Pigs

I think it was because I lived in a house of bricks so I knew I was safe.

Heidi. As a child I lived in a terraced house in an industrial town and longed to live among mountains, sleep under a feather duvet in a wooden chalet and take goats up a mountain . Having a grandfather like her would have been amazing.(My own died before I was born)

definitely Cinderella. It had goodies and baddies and a happy ending. I loved all the animals who helped her.

The six swans.

The book that it was in had beautiful illustrations

My favourite fairy story was "Snow White and Rose Red" . My parents had to read it to me over and over again. Even now, 70 years later I can still remember the slightly grey paper of the pages and the black ink illustrations.

Beauty and the beast because it taught us a message that everything and everyone is beautiful inside.

The Elves and the Shoemaker, the thought of little people coming out at night fascinated me. Probably why I enjoy Toy Story.

I liked Sleeping Beauty because I liked the idea of the Prince hacking his way through the overgrown thorns to reach the princess.

Billy Goats Gruff. I liked the trip trap over the bridge.

The Princess & the Pea was my favourite. My Nana used to read it to me & I read it myself over & over. I always used to check my bed to make sure there wasn't a pea under the mattress each night, just in case.

I grew up with Ladybird Books and loved their fairy tale series. My favourite was the Princess and the Pea. I used to put a pea under my mattress to see if I could sleep. I always could.

Three little pigs - It was scary

'The little Match Girl' - My adored Grandma bought me a lovely book with fairy tales and a picture on the front that moved when you moved the book. I loved the book and the pictures and remember being very moved by the poverty of the match girl and that she sadly perished.

I loved 'Peter Pan and Wendy' My Gran lived near the statue in London of Peter Pan - we used to sit there and have a picnic read the book and I really felt I was 'Wendy'

Cinderella - I always wanted a Prince to rescue me and live in a beautiful castle.

Little mermaid. Such a sad ending that stuck in my mind for long time, always wished that the author had chosen a happy ending.

Hensel and Gretel was one of my favourites

I loved The water babies by Charles Kingsley.I have read it countless times & at the age of 73 I still love to read it.I loved Mrs do as you would be done by,I think it taught me a great lesson in life.

Jack and the beanstalk - such an exciting fairytale. Read it over and over again! Such a shame the children of today are less interested in reading!

Rumpelstilskin ......I loved it when he was seen dancing round the fire and chanting his name.

The Enormous Turnip because everyone helped out. Collaboration works.

Hansel and Gretel because I remember getting the book for Christmas, as a child, and my mum reading it to us children.

The Elves and the Shoemaker, I don't even remember why, but I used to ask for my Mum to read it to me every night!

The Three Billy Goats Gruff! It always has to be read with different voices and effects and UP jumps the ugly troll to make you jump! I remember playing it one day in a stream with a bridge over it and the whole family playing roles! haha!
