Fairy tales
Did you like fairy tales when you were young? Or do you like them even now?
__________________________
Fairy tales are not as childlike as they seem at first sight. Sometimes i see cartoons by Russian fairy tales and every time i am surprised by it`s wisdom and it`s evident that they wasn`t written only for children)))
Though i`m convinced that every adult has his own fairy tale he loves and believes, even if he doesn`t think it`s fairy tale ![]()

Yes, I loved them, then pretended I was living that life of happily ever after. I guess I still have a few years left to dream... ![]()

loved them then and still do now ![]()
Yes, I have always loved them.
When I was a child and today, too.
i love fairytales, even now and my daughter loves them also.
Yes, I liked "The little Match Girl" by Andersen.
I cried my eyes out when I heard it for the first time. It was so sad!
I was 6 or 7 years old then.
Don't like fairytales anymore, I'm afraid.
I've been too much hardened by reality....

Fairy tales are quite nice and interesting to read, because someone who "invented" them had lots of fantasy and those stories mostly survive the time, no matter what event occur.
i liked hearing about them cuz i thought they were nice stories. i still like them.
that's all they are to me though. thank goodness i was never forced to believe that fairy tales were real like most parents seem to.

Sure I did and still do. I read fairytales from all kinds of cultures, it is very interesting how much alike they are and where and how they differ.
And it is right, originally fairytales were not written for kids.
Kind of funny, all the surrealism and cruelty in the stories …burned in oven, tarred and feathered, a talking head of a horse nailed to a portal, rolled down a hill in a barrel spiked with nails and and and. People would go on a riot nowadays but in as much as I can tell it did not do any damage to me as a child. How about you?

Yup, but only the good versions. With all the horror stuff, like where the which screams while being burned in the oven (Hans und Gretel) Or the naked New clothes of the emperor or where the wolfs get their feet cut off by King Lion... uh (Reinaert, but that's actually a fable, still good though)

Sure I loved them when I was a child.But now I think the life is like a long tale.Still there r princeses and princes or giants in somewhere out there... ![]()
well, why don`t we remember names of our favourite fairy tales))))))
I love fairy tale about Ole Lukoye, and tale about brothers-swans, also about nutcracker and stannic soldier ![]()
I think nobody knows russian national fairy tales, but there is some of them which i loved: "Geese-swans", " The Konek-Gorbunok" (The Ugly Little Horse
), "The Ivan-Tsarevich and grey wolf", "The Tsarevna-frog"

The nice start like this goes to a lot of russian fairy tales. Yes, i like age-old fairy tales, but my favourite is modern russian fairy tale 'Skazka pro Fedota-striltsa ydalova maladtsa' by L.Filavov, with use of traditional russian characters. The smart thing that full of hard-edged satire.

I loved fairytales as a kid, and I still love 'em now. ![]()

We're all grown ups now. When did that happen? And how do we make it stop?
I didn't really like the fairytales when I was younger - never felt much like a princess I guess... ![]()
But now, I'm totally fond of them - especially of those from other countries like China (really bloody!) and the old nordic tales (really, really bloody!
)!
