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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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!

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

The Little Match Girl

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

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

Pinocchio, lessons to be learned from this one!

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

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

Goldilocks and the 3 Bears..we live near a Forest!!

Robin Hood- I used to think he was amazing!

Goldilocks and The Three Bears - I always felt sorry for baby bear as Goldilocks ate his porridge, sat in his chair and went to sleep in his bed.

Thumbelina, because I so wanted to sleep in a walnut shell

Goldilocks & the three bears, I always felt sorry for the little bear and hoped the ending would change.

Cinderella

The Ugly Duckling by Hans Christian Andersen. A story that starts off sad, but has a happy ending (didn't like sad endings!)
It also appealed as the song (There once was an ugly duckling) was popular at the time.

Hansel and Gretel because I loved the idea of an edible house!
