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

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

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'

'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.

Three little pigs - It was scary

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

The six swans.

The book that it was in had beautiful illustrations

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

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)

The Three Little Pigs

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

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

Beauty from beauty and the beast. It had just the right amount of sadness, apprehension and a happy ending for any little girl. Oh and the moral of the story made a real impression on me.

Sleeping Beauty - not sure why, but I do like to nap a lot now!

I liked The Selfish Giant as it has a happy ending

My favourite fairy tale was The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe which I read to myself. It was the first ever book I borrowed from the town library and led to my book obsession. I am 60 and still devouring books.

Cinderella, mainly because of the beautiful gowns that she wore in the ladybird story book I read over and over, and still have.

I was liked Jack and the Beanstalk. I loved the rhyme that the gaint would chant.

I loved Peter Pan. I loved all the fun the children had together and the tick tock of the crock scaring Captain Hook.

Hansel and Gretel. so dark, but they prevailed
