  1. I can’t decide! Seriously… I think my favorite fairy tale right now would be The Little Mermaid, but that’s only because I’m writing a story about it. But fairy tales are all pretty awesome. Maybe East of the Sun, West of the Moon? (Of the non-writer-associated tales.)

  2. Oooh great contest idea. My favourite traditional fairytale is Cinderella, but I love it when authors twist up tradition (eg Dianne Wynne-Jones’ HOWLS MOVING CASTLE) to create something unique.

  3. I love most all fairy tales. I think my favorite would be Cinderella. I just read a re-telling and it made me like it more.

  4. Wow… just one?

    Man that’s rough. I love so many despite a lack of really strong female characters. (I wish there was at least one story that had a female making choices and moving the story with those choices (probably a sign of the times) instead of being cursed or almost molested or something else completely out of her hands.

    Current favorite is “The White Deer”.

  5. My favorite Fairy Tale is: Aladin…

    Who doesn’t like Gynies with 3 magic wishes, a princess with a pet Tiger, and a poor boy falls in love with a rich princess.

  6. Oooh, thank you for this giveaway 😀

    My favorite fairy tale is Aladdin. I like it because it’s different from the others. The guy isn’t a prince and the girl wants to see the world, not be swept off her feet.
