Have you read fairy tales since you grew up?

Fairy tales can be scary. For instance, in Cinderella the stepmother cuts a goodly portion of her daughter's foot off in order to try to fit the glass slipper on it. Another tale, The Goose Girl, details a horse being butchered alive and its head mounted on a gate where the little goose herd converses with it every day. Of course, our mothers read us sanitized versions of fairy tales just as I did for my own children. I have been reading fairy tales the past few years just for fun. One that I remember from childhood that wasn't rewritten for children was The Blue Light--the bad guy in that story was turned into a spaniel and could only eat hot coals.

I've never read any of these, even as a child. I'll have to look them up.

I've seen the new movie versions of some of the old fairy tales, but I guess I really should read some of them in their original form. I just wish I could find time to read half the things I want to.

Fairy tales! I really love them to remember those I read when I was a child and new ones. There are fairy tales for children and for adults. It's a wonderful trip to another world and we can learn a lot of those kind of books.

I love fairy tales and read them even now. Especially those touching ones by Hans Hristian Andersen

Yes whenever I get time, I still read them. They are so good and wonderful, at-least keeps your mind and mood fresh.

Yes, I read a lot of fairy tales when I was a child. These fairy tales come from my country and also some of them are the foreign ones. I think girls are especially interested in reading fairy tales. As to my son, he is interested in reading science books much more.

I read fairy tales when I was young but not so much to my grandchildren. Some of them are scary

I use to read fairy tales like "Cinderella", "Gingerbread Man" and "Three Little Pigs" when I was younger and that these fairy tales have become cartoons or movies I do watch them from time to time.

Yes, I did read some of them when I was a kid.

I used to love some of the fairy tale books I had as a child. I really loved 'The Princess and The Pea' and 'The Magic Porridge Pot' stories. However, I was given an old Grimm Fairy Tales book which I found incredibly disturbing as there are lots of deaths and violence throughout. I ended up trying to re-write certain sections of the book as a child so the book, which I still have, has lots of horrible parts which are crossed out and replaced with happy things instead!

Yes. I do. Often,we should read so that we don't get lost in this ever growing technology era...

Yes. I like keeping my inner child alive.

no i don't read them now becoz now its better to be live in reality.

I love to read them and watch the movies about them.
