Everyone loves fairy tales. Popular fairy tales teach us how to put a dragon in our hearts; outsmart the villains, and live happily ever after. 

Make reading fairy tales a tradition. Your children will love and cherish these stories as they learn important lessons that will carry them through life's many challenges.

“Once upon a time…”

These are alluring and spell-binding words known by all who love fairy tales!

I’ve had a love affair with fairy tales ever since my kindergarten teacher read to our class those immortal stories of Cinderella, Snow White, and Little Red Riding Hood. With the help of Walt Disney, these and many others became my favorite genre of books. I was still reading fairy tales in college and they were some of the first books I read to my sons.


I love fairy tales! One of the first fairy tale books that I found at the library was this one...Cinderella! I loved the beautiful golden dress Cinderella wore to meet her prince. I checked it out over and over again. The book is no longer in print, but I found it years later in a used book store.

Do you have something—a picture, a precious heirloom, a memento—in your home that reflects your personality and are things you love and cherish (other than family pictures which we all love and cherish)? For me, it’s four large signed prints of different fairy tales, matted and framed and hanging in our home. The artist is Scott Gustafson. I love how he has captured the magic of these enchanting stories.

Ever since the Brothers Grimm penned their first fairy story, people all over the world have fallen in love and identified with such characters as Hansel and Gretel, Snow White, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel and Jack and the Beanstalk.


When did you start reading fairy tales as a child? Do you read fairy tales to your children? (if not, you should). Children love fairy tales! They speak to the heart and soul of a child and let them know they can conquer anything if they try hard enough.

Which fairy tales are your favorites? Which ones inspired magical dreams and lofty ambitions for you as a child? There are many “popular” lists of classic fairy tales but here are what seem to be the most popular fairy tales. Undoubtedly, if you are a lover of these stories, you can recite them by heart…
