I’m sure I don’t have to tell any of you about Heston Blumenthal. One of the most well regarded chefs in the world, his restaurant The Fat Duck in Bray, England sees a hungry and eager pilgrimage by thousands of well heeled and epicurious diners eager to indulge in snail porridge or his Sound Of The Sea dish in which he gives diners an iPod to listen to the said sounds while eating a dish that looks like it would be at home on a beach. He is a three Michelin starred chef and a culinary alchemist. But he is also kind of eccentrically nuts-and that’s why I adore him.
I mean this is a man that devised a series of lavish dinner parties in themes like fairytale feasts (Snow White, Hansel & Gretel and Cinderella), Titanic feasts and an 80′s feast. My favourite would have to be his Hansel and Gretel feast where he actually built a house for guests to nibble on and the gothic feast which inspired my Halloween party. He even cooked and tasted blood engorged leeches in his pursuit of the truly bloody and gory! Heston is a chef that likes to have fun in the kitchen and at dinner parties and life’s too short not to have fun wouldn’t you say? And it would be fabulous to be a guest on one of those episodes!

Definitely Hansel and Gretel, I would risk being eaten by a scary witch for a chance to get my hands on that giant ginger bread house!
I loved the episode where he had guest suck on helium to give a funny voice during his Psychedelic dinner party. The series is fantastic!
My favourite fairytale is the one where I am stuck with a man who cooks really bad, uncreative food. I am talking ‘beige meals’ with no seasoning or vegetables. An exotic (and erotic) meal for him is pasta with Leggoes sauce. It’s a loveless relationship. I pray for a man who has a passion for food.
Then I am rescued by Heston Blumenthal – he steals me in my sleep and takes me to The Fat Duck where he cooks me interesting and colourful meals every day. On special occasions he woos me with flaming beasts and chocolate mice. I am still allowed to swoon over celebs like Callan Mulvey and Hamish Blake, but during every meal, I am Heston’s one and only.
You haven’t heard of this fairytale? It’s called The Princess and the Pea Foam with Bacon and Egg Ice Cream.
I’d love to win this prize!!
He is indeed a legend. I know voting isn’t part of the game but, with an answer as great as that, I vote for Carly!
My favourite fairytale is the one I am living –
I cook, clean, and hang out the washing, and then the dwarfs come home each day after working in the “mine”!!! Yes I have a sneezy, grumpy, sleepy and a new one “talky”.
Perhaps one day a dashing prince will ride up on his stead and take me away to his castle!!!
My favorite fairy tale? Hmmmm…some of them are rather scary. I would have to say Cinderella because it had such a happy ending….
xxoo,
RMW
I always found fairy tales to be a bit scary and creepy. If I had to chose one though, I would pick Rumpelstiltskin. I think the Queen in the story was very clever to trick him. Whenever I have to try and make something fabulous from bits and pieces, I always think back to the the story where she had to spin straw into gold, and give it a red hot go.
Hi, it has to be Goldilocks with the three bears. But instead of porridge being hot, cold and ‘just right’, it would be replaced with Heston’s snail porridge!
We love the latest series of Heston and especially his new deconstructed take on a particular dish, like Peking Duck and the Chicken Tikka Curry.
Beauty and the beast – I’m a huge fan of Heston’s (cue jealous rolling of husband’s eyes) … and I’m pretty sure there’s no beast he couldn’t turn into a tasty starter!
Sleeping Beauty. I would love to be kissed awake by a Prince, and just think no cooking, or any s ort of work, like I do now…..I”d be in Heaven……
I’m so fascinated with these themed feasts. I can’t wait to read the book!
How can one go past ‘THE THREE LITTLE PIGS’! (Tho’ is it a fairytale’?). The last bowl of porridge WAS just right – like Heston Blumenthal’s cooking!
I like the animal tales, especially The Ugly Duckling. (In the real fairy tales it seems the heroines have to do an inordinate amount of housework before they get their fellow.)
I don’t think Heston has cooked a swan, but he has certainly cooked a duckling, ugly or not!
Eep! I love Heston & Heston’s Feasts on sbs. That Hansel & Gretel one was amazing!! He’s a visionary. My dad wants to visit England just to eat at his restaurant! I would choose Cinderella as my favourite. I loved her little mice friends, and her honest loving manner. & then she gets her prince but first falls in love without knowing he was a prince!! Ahh
I watched the Disney version the other week on a Saturday night – the most delightful, PG night I’ve had in a while! It was amazing.

I always loved Little Red Riding Hood… although after studying this particular tale at uni I discovered it had serious undertones, as do all fairytales.
Althoug knowing its true meaning, and it’s true gory end, just made me love it even more!!
My fav fairy tale is the one where i win a Heston’s Feasts DVD
The Little Mermaid, Ariel is wonderful, her beautiful voice seducing the UBER hot King Eric. Scuttle & Flounder are champions too, as a child, my brother and I would use their classic one liners, I’m sure Mom thought we were nuts. LOL. Anyways, I am a bit of a Disney freak, love the trials Arial goes through to get her ultimate dream, to marry the king and be human. Classic Right!
PS: The Happy Ending gets me EVERY time! 
PPS: Thanks for the reminder, I am off to the video store to rent now!
Rapunzel – i mean what bloke can resist a lady in distress – a truly hairy tale
Hansel and Gretel! Even if the witch did get the delightful little ones, what a fantastic last meal! Although the witch may have been seriously misunderstood especially since their parents had left nothing but bread crumbs for them
Heston is truly a man that is not afraid to use himself as a guinea pig when experimenting with the feasts, in particular his absinthe testing where he didn’t even have a chance to see green fairies before it hit him:)
The Princess and the Pea – I hate lumps in my bed.
Snow white and the 7 dwarfs because the dwarfs are hilarious and so cute!
I’m not sure if this counts as a fairy tale, but Alice in Wonderland is one of my favourites.
Ah Lorraine – my favourite story is Jack and the Beanstalk – a tale of a boy’s thoughtlessness and wonder, of intrepid curiosity and daring… a great tale for a boy. I’m surprised Heston hasn’t pursued this story in his funny imaginative feasts.
Definitely Sleeping beauty as Aurora seems to have the best deal out of all the princesses…only a prick from the spindle and sleep until a kiss from a prince….
my husband is a chef and though fortunate as it sounds, he doesnt cook much at home (he reckons he feels like working still) but not that I am complaining as the kitchen is my refuge where I create things to serve for families and friends and just like Heston, I would love to make a theme every time I cook, but with two littlies permanently attached to each of my legs, I can only do as much. Anyway, one of my favourite fairytale is Alice in Wonderland. Love the variety of characters and each one having a querky personality – some elements that I try to do in my cooking as well – variety and character! Ohhh hope I win one of them, then I can pawn this to make hubby cook more for us hahaha.
Oh, how I’d love to eat at the Fat Duck. Although I’m not sure I could ever leave if I actually made it there!
My favourite fairytale – at the moment I am loving sharing Thumbelina with my daughter whose eyes light up at the magic of it. And who wouldn’t love to get a pair of fairy wings and a perfect fairy prince? Although I am a bit partial to the versions of fairy tales that Roald Dahl did. He’s a bit like Heston really – a perverted sense of humour and I love them both for it.
I remember being asked this exact question in grade 1. I still remember it to this day.
Mrs Brown – “Class, quiet please! Tell me your favourite fairy tale. Let’s start with Susie.”
Susie – “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs… she’s lovely and she gets a kiss from her prince charming.”
Mrs Brown – “Well done Susie, what about you, Wendy?”
As the only Asian girl in the class, I wasn’t brought up by my parent in the world of fantasy and fairy tales. I was brought up by Grandma (on food) as both my parents were always working to make ends meet. I was stumped, literally speaking. The next thing I did was stealing a quick glance at the hardcover book on Mrs Brown’s desk.
Wendy (me, almost murmuring) – “Cinde..re..llah? That pumpkin can feed my family for a year.”
The whole class broke into laughter. I stood there, red in the face with my rather ‘unconventional’ answer.
Perhaps I was just way ahead of my time with my foodie thoughts.
Heston’s now making it big with his fairytale feasts. He’s such a joy to watch with his rather unconventional cooking methods in SBS. I haven’t missed a single episode. Love it!
Oooh… Fairytales and Heston… love, love, love this!
My favourite is not quite traditional in anyway but being into the freakish as much as I am I’d have to say Tim Burton’s version of Hansel and Gretel. In true Burton and Blumenthal form everything is edible… except for the witch… that is called cannibalism my friends and is frowned upon in most states. Hehehe.
It has to be little red riding hood! The wolf, the woods, the sweet, naive girl… What’s not to like?! *wink*
I just love Mulan, showing inner strength of a young girl and goes through so much, but protects her family, finds friends and true love in the end, and the music is wonderful too!
Snow White: love the whole wicked step-mother, poisoned apple saga. There is also Prince Charming – a handsome prince, a handsome and gallant prince.
Goldilocks and the three bears – because you could make this really cool hand clapping game about it!
sleeping beauty, I love the fact she gets to have a long restful sleeep and wake up to a handsome prince.
HOW can one not like Sleepy beauty, TRUE!
Wouldn’t it be GREAT if we could all have a mirror that spoke to us daily about our beauty too! lol
Imagine Heston as my prince,
Pretty difficult to convince, lol
Imagine him mixing his potions of masterful gastronomitry!
Keeping me awake,
For his succulently delectable, most extraordinary 24 hour recipe re steak!
beauty and the beast….best disney movie.
Snow White was always my fave as a child. And Bambi (except for the bit where Bambi’s mummy dies)
Jack and the Beanstalk because it has a little bit of everything!
My favourite is Strupwelpeter, well, all the nasty, gory little stories that make up the Strupwelpeter books. So not child appropriate.
I love the little match girl because of the visions the little girl sees of Christmas trees and how she looks at a shooting star and sees her grandmother. It is a sad fairy tale because she dies, but there is a sense of happiness at the end when her grandmother takes her soul to heaven. Love Hans Christian Anderson.
My fave fairy tale would have to be Hansel & Gretel. I would always love to read and re-read the descriptive way of the candy house. My wildest childhood fantasy would have been to find such a magical house… Even back then I always perked at the mention of food in any such story hehe Another favorite was – well I can’t remember the name, but it involved a travelling gentleman who was famished and collected goodies from the mean-hearted boarding lady to make a delicious ‘chicken soup’…hmmmm
Rapunzel, the hunky man saved her in the end…
My favourite fairytale is Alice in Wonderland – not strictly classified as a fairytale, but definitely pure fantasy. It is my favourite because it runs the gamut of bizarre and dream-like – and I think the White Rabbit is kind of cute.
Ooh don’t know if this is open internationally but am entering just in case!
Loved the ones of this that I caught on telly!
When I was at uni I studied a module in French called stories, novellas and tales. Many of the fairytales we know now as sweet, gentle affairs started off as much darker and scarier stories. My favourite was an early version of Cinderella!
Definitely Cinderella for me. After all – the girl rode to the ball in a pumpkin (my favourite vegetable) and she has a serious shoe fetish. My kind of girl!
Hansel & Gretel… because my grandmother always told me this story as a child, and then it would come to life each christmas when we made a gingerbread house with her, including little (very retro 1970′s) figures to decorate the house with….. I think it used to give me nightmares, about getting lost and stuck in an oven, but each year now I still make a gingerbread house at christmas and think of her and remember my childhood times with her.
Goldilocks and the three bears, I once went to a cottage that had the three different sizes of beds! It was like I was in the fairytale!!
‘The Thick, Fat Pancake’, where three old ladies make a pancake, and the pancake jumps out of the pan. He runs away from various woodland creatures, and comes across some orphan children who are hungry, so he lets them eat him.
It’s such a nice story about a generous pancake, and it’s NOT about some little girl who needs a big strong man to save her.
Heston Blumenthal is the bomb! We cooked his 18 hour steak and it was great! But I think my partner has a man-crush on him, and I’d love to give him season two of the series
My favourite fairytale was Snow white and the seven dwarfs,she found her prince,a happy ending story,
mmmm Hansel and Gretal would have to be a favourite, i’m a sucker for gingerbread
Alice in Wonderland especially the Mad Hatters Tea Party, I just love a good Tea party with my little Girl.
i like rapunzel, because it seems that she and the prince actually became friends first, instead of “oh, love at first sight; let us marry!”. and they had to wait a while before reaching the happy ending – when the blinded prince encounters the exiled (by the witch) rapunzel again, and then her tears of happiness gives his sight back – which makes the ending so much more happy and relieving
My favourite fairytale – starring an actual ‘fairy’ – would have to be ‘Peter Pan’. Miss Four may disagree, preferring the straight-to-DVD Disney fodder featuring Tinkerbell and the other fairies, but I need a little more ‘adult’ entertainment. Unfortunately, I have to admit that I’ve never seen ‘Heston’s Feast’, as Miss Four likes to control the remote and steer viewing onto channels showing ‘her TV’. I think it’s time for the parents to revolt and hijack the TV for Heston viewing! Don’t you agree?!;-)
cinderella, because i want to be just like her when i get big… a princess….. from the words of my 3 year old daughter xxxx
I Love Snow white and the seven dwarfs. It shows how love conquers all
THE UGLY DUCKLING – no cruelty to animals, no long-haired, impossibly beautiful princesses, no muscle-bound brainless princes; just a simple story about life that shows there’s hope for us all….
Peter Pan is at the top of my list and it seems to me that unlike a lot of adults, Heston has managed to retain the wonderful qualities of childen and remained adventurous, risk taking and imaginative, living in a world of fantasy and fun and surprises. What a delicious man!
Beauty and the Beast is my favourite fairytale as it highlights the notion the beauty lies within the package rather than the fancy packaging one first encounters on the outside!
I loved the Magic Porridge Pot as a child. With porridge everywhere!
Beauty and the Beast! Just love it and went to see it on stage twice!
my favourite fairy tale is merlin, i’m addicted to the series as well!
Little mermaid! Disney did wonders for my childhood.
I didn’t really have a favourite, but I did envy Rapunzel’s hair.
I love fairy tales, and I love Heston. His series ‘In search of perfection’ has inspired me to greater heights just by the way he spends so much time to get the perfect steak, ice cream, chicken…..everything is treated as the star of it’s own culinary musical! My first favourite was always Jack and the Beanstalk. As a young boy, I liked the way it rewarded young Jack’s determination and his total belief that he had done the right thing by accepting the beans as payment. But then, I am an incurable optimist….
Cinderella would have to be my favourite! I love the idea of the glass slipper and happy endings! I wish I was Cinderella and Heston was my prince =)
he could whip me away to The Fat Duck and we’d live there happily ever after on amazing food.
First of all… I adore Heston!! And secondly my favourite fairy tale would have to be Sleeping beauty because noone should underestimate the lure of a fresh apple! also she gets to sleep in an awful lot!
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is a timeless classic that I love.
Hansel and Gretel! It’s too cute, who wouldn’t follow a delicious trail of gingerbread? I know I would be on it like a fat kid with cake =D!
My Dad brought me up reading Hans Christian Andersen & the Brothers’ Grimm which if you’ve ever read you’ll know aren’t exactly your ‘happy ever after’ fairy tales! My favourite was Andersen’s The Steadfast Tin Soldier
Just found you and so happy to add you to my blog’s favorites!!
What a fantastic prize! I’m going to look for this on Amazon right now…I’m intrigued!
I like Snow White, the one with her sister Rose Red in it – I always wondered what happens to Rose Red, and why she isnt part of the story………..
Snow White. With a 4 year old daughter I have been revisiting all the old stories and this one is lovely. We like that the dwarves let her stay with them (mind you she offers to cook and clean for them so why wouldn’t they!!)
Mine is Snow White & the 7 Dwarfs, they are the most comical and always reminds you how important friends are.
Goldilocks and the three bears because my daughter dressed up as Goldilocks for Book parade this year!
What a wonderful prize! When Heston’s Fantastical Feasts were airing, I would rush home after work just to be sure I could make it in time.
My favourite fairytale would have to be Beauty and the Beast. That spectacular dining scene in the Disney film enchanted me then and continues to do so now!
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Bashful,Doc,Dopey, Grumpy,Happy Sleepy and Sneezy) was a favourite as child and now that I am going through the “change” I can related to the new version which is the Seven Dwarfs of Menopause:
Itchy, Bitchy, Sweaty, Sleepy, Bloated, Forgetful and Pyscho
I love Heston Blumenthal! He is the best!
My favourite fairtale would have to be Cinderella. It’s such a classic. The glass slipper is what every girl wants. Although it may shatter if I was to wear one now.
“The Three Bears” as I cannot ever sit down to eat my porridge without thinking of them which brings back chilhood memories.
I myself have always loved the Enid Blyton fairytales. I love the Land of Eat What you Want the most! Especially the ginger beer river, the gingerbread houses, chocolate houses, marzipan doorknobs… I could go on and on.. I’ve always really wanted to get there by Wishing Chair as well… *sigh*…. LOVE IT! LOVE HESTON!!!
Snow White because the description of her is interesting. And her downfall of an apple looks so beautiful and scrumptious.
SHREK for me!!! love the green ogre and tomboy-ish princess. Resembling my fiance and I lol
snow white and the seven dwarfs because it had such a wonderful ending
Oh Lorraine I would love to win this prize!
My favourite fairytale is the princess and the pea – I just love how princesses have the most precise attention to detail and how the smallest of things could determine the real deal from wannabe princesses
a bit of a diva story, but hey – princesses were the original diva’s!
When it comes to food and fairytales I immediately think Hansel and Gretel and the amazing gingerbread house covered in lollies. Then my mind jumps to the apple in Snow White and the porridge in Goldielocks and the 3 Bears. But if I’m honest, the 3 Little Pigs is my favourite not for any food reason but because it was my son’s favourite. I red it to him 100s of times with voices for each pig and the wolf. When he got a little older he liked to do the voice of the big bad wolf. Maybe Heston can do something with wolf stew?
Snow White. She has 7 midgets waiting on her hand and foot until she meets the man of her dreams who sweeps her off her feet into a castle..where there will be more servants to pick up after her. Sweet.
my favorite would be snow white and the 7 dwarfs – why – because as a child (about 7 or yrs old ) I was taken to a live show in the theatre in melbourne and my Mum made me a snow white outfit ! I wore it until I couldn’t fit into it any more.
The Princess and the Pea – who wouldn’t want a bed that big and with that many matresses and to have someone who makes your bed for you every day – Heaven!
Heston rocks. We have been hosting great backpackers in our home for the last year and whilst I entertain and feed them I missed out on all of the last Heston’s series, much to my dismay which I believe was so magical and marvellous as this series would appeal to my creative side. I must tell you though of a childhood memory that is dear to my heart. I am a Pisces which means I am a dreamer and love fantasy. I am of German heritage and when my parents immigrated to Australia they worked hard to save for a deposit for a house. My mother bought her sister over from Germany to basically babysit me. I was treated to a big night in Sydney in 1962 to see the Brothers Grimm movie with my aunty. We missed the first show and had to wait till 10.00 pm to see the show I was promised. My parents were sent a “telegram” to say we would be late. As young as I was I was not tired because I simply had to see what these brothers Grimm were about to show. Along came the most spectacular fantasy, awe-inspring, sometimes scary and magical movie I had ever seen. Encompassing almost every fairytale along with dragons in 3D and what have you (don’t forget it was night-time for a 5 year old) it was the most magical time and memorable time a child could experience. So I say, I love all fairytales with a passion and I can’t wait to pass them on to my grandchildren (and no, they won’t be politically correct on my part).
PS. I just went to the new Westfield in Sydney in DJ’S and spent 1/2 looking at cook books with a twist. Loved one book where this guy has memorable dinner parties – he does fluro jellies which was interesting. Wat tempted to buy the book but stopped myself. Sorry, not relevant to this blog but couldn’t wait to tell you that.
Connie
SNOW WHITE. BECAUSE OF THOSE THINGS:
1. APPLE
IS THE FRUIT THAT MADE ADAM AND EVE ‘DEATH’ AS THE SNOW WHITE
2. A PARTNER
WE LIVE WITH OUR COUPLE, AND THEREFORE THEY MAKE US ALIVE.
3. EAT(APPLE) AND LOVE (FAMILY) IS UNSEPERATEABLE THING.
I adored Heaston’s Feasts when it was on SBS. And Mr Binkz is glad I have found the cookbook to go with the series, as he doesn’t have to think of a present for Christmas :p
My favourite fairytale was Cinderella. I loved that no matter what she went through she was still nice, and she proved that just because you are beaten down doesn’t mean that you can’t rise up above it all with a great pair of shoes! That and the retelling of Cinderella wit Drew Barrymore and Dougray Scott… Yum!
Hi Lorraine, definitely Alice in Wonderland because I simply ADORED a tea party as a little girl! . . . I guess that’s what led me on the path to high tea. Kind regards, Lynette
lol just realised….. I meant snow white. Its ok. Its been a long day!
My favourite fairy tale is Cinderella. I love the meaning behind the story about how you can still succeed when people totally doubt you. People used to tell me that i was really bad in school work (damn them
) but i kept trying and trying and now im getting top scores. Especially in food Tech! 
My favourite is Hansel and Gretel – can you imagine a whole gingerbread house! I would have definitely been eaten by the witch for eating her house.
Hmm – I’m thinking Harry Potter! I know it’s not your traditional fairy tale but we’re talking about a cult story that gets adults & kids reading books
I always loved Beauty and the Beast, I practically wore out my tape of the Disney version, and I knew all of the songs!
Actually, I wouldn’t mind still having a copy of it.. maybe I can hint for Christmas.
Although treated poorly by her step family, and their attempts to secure a husband for one of her step-sisters, Cinderalla came away with the husband, title and better off because of who she was.
hansel and gretel. i’ve seen the episode where heston makes an edible gingerbread house. awesome
Goldilocks and the Three Bears because its moral is simple: everyone should respect the privacy and property of others
Cinderella, because you should treat people the way you would like to be treated and then more good comes out of it than evil.
SNOW WHITE
Because who can go past a sweet, kind hearted, innocent girl with 7 funny little men running around after her and the adorable animals. Off they go each digging out diamonds from the mine…. who wouldn’t want that in life?
Until the envitable “Evil Apple” tempts her, as we all get gorgeous temptations in life that we can’t refuse…. she has but a taste and falls into a (well earned and much needed) sleep, only to be rescused by her Prince Charming!
This is a great fairytale as it encompasses all my favourite things :
1. Cooking
2. Apples
3. Well earned Sleep
4. Handsome Princes!
Go Heston! My Mum and I loved this series, as a first time watcher we were hooked but only saw the last 4 episodes
so I would love the DVD series to give her to have some great Mum & Daughter time together! Thankyou for another great comp NQN.
The Prince and the Pauper….Imagine giving someone elses life a go. How would you differ going from extreme wealth to nothing and vice versa? a bit like winning Lotto I guess…
It’s got to be Hansel and Gretel, because of all the eating that they get to do. A gingerbread house isn’t very practical to live in, but it would be delicious.
Loved hestons feast!
my favourite is cinderella, I try and live my life by her. Pretty blonde with a handsome prince. Yes please!
Cinderella, because the most beautiful sister was the one with the warmest heart.
It’s not quite a fairytale, but I still transported to another place when reading “The Secret Garden” – just the idea of discovering a beautiful hidden garden appeals and I think it has even entered my pschye as I’m now addicted to organic vegie gardening in an attempt to create my own edible paradise!
Just loved Heston and all he gets up to!
“BEAUTY AND THE BEAST” BECAUSE IT’S THE LOVELIEST, MAGICEST DISNEY FAIRYTALE: I PRETEND I’M BELLE.
I like the traditional ones and my favourite is Cinderella because it’s the ultimate princess story.
I grew up reading Hans Christian Andersen & the Brothers’ Grimm. I found Christian Andersen especially a bit dark and scary. But (being a food addict) I have to admit now there was a story about this servant (can’t remember her name now) that was supposed to cook a chicken for her master, but while she was cooking it she got hungry and she took a piece from one leg, a piece from the other leg, a little bit from here, a little bit from there, until there wasn’t any chook left. I always asked my mum/grandma to cook me a chook after reading the story!
Goldilocks, the premise is food and she is so pretty and I love the humour in the bears, especially the little bear so cuteee!
When I was a child I would imagine what’d feel like to be Hansel and Gretel..all lost and alone in the dark, then trapped by the witch who tricked them and was so cruel ! Oh how scared I was for them! what horror! haha
Cinderella. I love the animals that are her friends, I love the idea of love conquering all bounds and that one true love going to no ends to find you. I wish for a Fairy Godmother that will always look out for me. It would be a dream come true for any girl
I’ve loved The Princess and The Pea since I was a little girl, you dont here the fairytail much anymore but I still like to tell it to my young daughter
Sleeping Beauty. Uninterrupted sleep and not having to look after kids? Are you kidding me?!
My favorite fairy tale is Cinderella.Why? I really don’t know. Maybe I just want to believe that miracles can happen
Cinderella because the mice she talks to are cute.
The Little Match Girl. It’s such a sad fairy tale, but also beautiful. I remember having a picture or painting of the girl when I was little, and I used to imagine all sorts of happier endings for her!
Heya thanks for the prize
I emailed you back but my message was undeliverable 
I got my DVD! Thank you so much!!! I opened it on Christmas morning.
Will watch it on a rainy/hot day!
Dear NQN
Thank you soooooo much. I got my gorgeous DVD prize just before Xmas and had it under the tree for my Mum from “secret santa”, she loved it. Told her how i got hold of it from your fabulous giveaways. I have Facebooked you to my friends list of 200! Hopefulyl you get some more followers.
My brother came over last night and him, my mum & hubby all watched 2 episodes in awe! And my brother has gone out to buy it! It is fabulous, he is an absolute genius and we can’t wait to watch & re-watch them over & over. Heston’s warnign of “dont try this at home” only makes you want to do it!
Thanks again, you’ve won me for life!
Yours Sincerely, Traci.
heston amazes me all the time he is a freak of nature
Rapunzel is my favourite, by The Brothers Grimm, Most of their stories captured my heart when I was young. I always wanted to know why my hair could not get as long and shiny as rapunzel’s !!
Always liked red riding hood. Scary in places when l was a child but still loved hear the story.
