Which fairy tale you liked the best when you were a child?I liked 'Cinderella' and 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'. I used to experience an extremely blissfull feeling whenever my mother narrated it or when I myself used to read it. If given a chance,whose shoes would you like to be in?Which tale has been your all time favourite?

I read about Cindrella much later in life I grew up reading Folktales of Ukraine and Russia. They were wonderful stories of fantasy just like Cindrella and snowhite, but only a bit different.Books were pretty expensive and local libraries did not stock english language books, so we subscribed to Russian mags and science journals they were much cheaper and came at regular intervals. so it kept us busy.

Okay.So you liked cindrella? Wish we could read Ukrainian and Russian folk tales.I have read 'Usike` and his seven friends'.It's a story about the seven days of the week.

Yeah,the character of Beauty is very strong.She has been portrayed as a very virtuous girl who is dutiful,compassionate and a true lover of the beauty within.

yeah I liked Cingrella but I liked Beauty and the Beast much better. I thought beauty was pretty tough not to be scared of the beast and also not think of beast as ugly. She treated beast as well as she would have a prince. This appealed to me a lot

My favorite was Sleeping Beauty. Aurora seemed so graceful, and worthy of someone fighting the evil witches that were so eager for her downfall.

I love to read and watch fairy tale stories.I am very fond of snow white and seven drafts , offcourse cindrella and beauty and the beast.When i was in school days these were shown in Tv and i enjoyed watching them every week end.But nowadays they dont telecast this and if they do ,i would love to watch it again. I like fairy tales on the whole and like to read or watch anything from those tales.

I loved fairy tales as a child but always noticed that it was the girls who got all the luck; Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty - they all got their handsome prince. As for the boys, we had Peter Pan who stayed ever young and fought pirates all the time but it wasn't really a fairytale ending of love, happiness, romance etc. Not that I ever wanted to be a girl, but why couldn't we have had Cinderfella or Boy White or Sleeping Handsome (",)

Lol.You are so right diablouk.It's a good idea and its never too late.We can ask writers to write kid's tales with titles suggested by you. The future generation boys won't feel neglected. A fantastic response.Thanks.:D

Well there are many fairy tales i have heard, read about nad liked in my childhood. But happy prince, cinderella, pied pipper, snow white and seven dwarfs are some of the ones i could think of. I used to read these fairy tales in my story books and also my teacher at school use to narrate it. Besides i also acted in plays like happy prince and have had wonderful memories of it.

Well I am not really sure of the name,but I guess its Rupanzel or something like this.She had real long hair and her boyfriend used to climb with the help of it.I was somehow very impressed by this beautiful idea ;-) Actually when I was a kid,my mom never allowed me to have long hair,she used to always cut it off short and it was my dream to have long hair,maybe that's why I loved it.

hey anwesha,I was also not allowed to keep long hair.I guess both of us don't comb it properly that is why.Lol.But moms don't understand that this carefully careless messy hair is so in! Yes,you are right .It is the story of Rapunzel with long lovely hair.I like the story too. Cheers to both of us for being so alike.:)
