The Three Little Pigs was always great fun and you could join in with the repeated text.

My favourite was always Hansel and Gretel, it used to scare me but I liked the excuse to scream. Think it started my love of scary films.

The Little Mermaid was always my favourite. I just loved the thought of mermaids living in the sea.

Pinocchio, lessons to be learned from this one!

The Three Little Pigs - they were so brave and inventive. I'm always a sucker for the underdog (or is it underpig?).

Cinderella. I was a very plain child and very unhappy. The idea of becoming Cinderella was my idea of heaven!

The Little Match Girl

Without a doubt the Princess and Curdie - is it a fairytale. No matter I loved it!

I always loved The TIn Soldier and the Nutcracker. My mum used to read me Hans Christian Anderson stories all the time and they bring back such happy memories!

Rumpelstiltskin was the tale that caught my imagination the most, probably due to the very striking illustrations in the edition I had.

Really loved Snow White and the seven dwarfs cos my big brother was terrified when the witch is shown in a dungeon with a dead skeleton reaching through the bars.

Peter Pan - because I always imagined it would be wonderful to fly and to have adventures on exotic islands.

Hansel and Gretel because I love the idea of a house made out of gingerbread and sweets

Cinder Ella for me. My kids still watch the original, it's iconic. Like the mice too, Jacque and Gus and the bibbiddy bobbiddy doo song.

Three billy goats gruff because my Daddy would tell the story complete with sound effects

The Ugly Duckling because it gave me hope - I had stringy hair, national health specs and buck teeth when I was little and yearned to be pretty.

Little Red cap by the Brothers Grimm.
I like all the Grimm brothers work, some were terrifying, but all were brilliant

Peter Pan because it is pure escapism and I used to look at each night before bed to see if I could see Tinkerbell or Peter Pan - now read it to my grandaughter who also loves it even more so since seeing the pantomime last year.

Snow White, it was so romantic, your hero waking you up with a kiss

Jack and the beanstalk although I used to cry every time they sold the cow ???

Jack & the beanstalk. I was brilliant at climbing trees as a child and truly believed that if I climbed a tree high enough; I could get that pot of gold. I believed it for years.

I loved Snow White and the seven dwarves because she was so pretty and I liked te idea of her cottage in the woods and looking after the dwarves!

My favourite was Snow White although it was through the film. I loved the idea of these little men looking after Snow White and her getting her prince in the end.

The Magic Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton was always my favourite as a child and when i met my now husband he too said he loved that book.

Cinderella. Loved it in every written and visual version. Still do!
