I loved a Russian fairy tale called the fire bird the illustration in the book was magical

I loved the Princess & The Pea, I always wanted to sleep on all those mattresses.

Goldilocks and the 3 bears, I could relate to the naughty goldilocks as my older brother will verify!

Jack and the Beanstalk......I always and probably till today believe there's a giant creeper on which we could climb and reach up to the skies. It kept my imagination working throughout my childhood.

Hansel and Gretel - I was shocked by the poverty but admired the courage of the siblings.

I loved my book of Grimm's fairy tales but especially Hansel and Gretel.

Snow white I loved the dwarfs

I loved Hansel and Great cause I loved the sweet house.

Goldilocks and the 3 bears as my dad used to tell it when dishing out the porridge in my early school years

'Jack & The Beanstalk' and 'Billy Goat Gruff'- reading or hearing the way the respective main characters cleverly fool the giant / troll was always so satisfying.

3 Billy Goats Gruff - clomp, clomp, clomp. Not really sure why.....the troll used to give me nightmares....

Peter Pan amazing fairy tale really he’s a bit like me my family say I’ve never grown up

I loved Goldilocks and the Three Bears when I was little because porridge was a breakfast I always asked for!

The Little Match Girl made me cry then and now. When I read it to my Grandchildren I wasn’t expecting it to affect me and I ended up crying, and they cried with me. That wasn’t the intention of course but it’s so sad.

I also liked the Ugly Duckling, and the song by Danny Kaye and Snow White.

I think because I have always been a lover of animals, Bambi hit a spot with me.

I did enjoy Cinderella also, especially when she was the belle of the ball.

The Ugly Duckling. Such a beautiful little tale.

The Three Little Pigs.
I loved this story. My mum always did different voices for all the different characters and we would both do the huffing and puffing the houses down.....Later I did exactly the same with my own kids and it became my sons favourite too.

I used to love a book called Bears in the Night...I would read it over and over and over again! I just never tired of it!

Beauty and the Beast. Beauty embodies everything that a human being might aspire to. She puts the wellbeing of others before her own, she can be trusted to keep a promise, and her compassion allows her to eventually see beyond the forbidding exterior of the beast and see other qualities that are more important than beauty.

It has to be Cinderella. I had a big sister who was not ugly but I thought she was bossy , to win something she wanted especially a handsome prince was my dream at the time. Just to prove the underdog ie little sister can win sometimes

Billy goats gruff. I loved them trip trapping over the bridge and them winning in the end.

Bambi.... Because those eyes were so beautiful

Hansel and Gretel always gripped my attention as a child

Mine was The Three Little Pigs.
I loved the way the wolf got his comeuppance.

The Water Babies. I loved Tom the little chimney sweep. I think I always tried to live by the advice of Mrs. Doasyouwouldbedoneby. In fact I I actually used those words to my children. They still remember her name.
A lovely story with a very moral theme.
