I liked many stories as a child, but I think the story I most like was “Des Kaisers neue Kleider” “The Emperor’s New Clothes”. You know, where the children say to the King that he walks naking down the street. I don’t think that will come in the show like that, but that best part of the story was that only the children have the courage to say that here is something complete wrong and that is for me Henry.
I do not why, but as a child I loved the story of “Der Rattenfänger von Hameln” The Pied Piper of Hamelin”, where a town ask to get rid of the rats and he plays with is flute and the rats leave, but then the village don’t pay for it and so he play another melody and take the children with him. There are only two children who would not becaught. One has forget his jacket so they go back, but one was blind and the other onee was mute and didn’t. So nobody know exactly where they have gone. Most of the time in the bocks you see a cave in the mountain, that dissapears when all the children was trough.They were never see again. This story is really not yet in Once upon a time, but I think Rumpel would be perfect to make a deal and steal the children of a whole town.
The 3rd I liked was the Ugly Duck, who became a swan. In once upon a time this is Emma. Finally she found her real family, get accepted and can now found her happiness.
My first book I get was a comic book about “Prinz Eisenherz” “Prince Valliant”.

I love them all! I love how the Grimm fairytales in particular were actually grim! They were cautionary tales for children and they were presented in such a dark and horrific way. Those stories were the thing that taught me to never talk to strangers. Sorry mommy. 😆
I know they were soo creepy, when we were younger my parents got us the grimm versions so basically we read them before reading the fluffier versions (See my craziness is my parents fault ) between that and my obsession with greek mythology it’s no wonder I turned out how I did 😆
I did love the original Princess and the Frog, and beauty and the beast of course
I love Peter and the wolf too 🙂 I remember as a kid how much I hated and thought it was so wrong that the wolfs where always made out to be the bad guy. In Red riding hood, Peter and the wolf, Three little pigs. Especially hated the version of red riding hood where the huntsman kills the wolf and cuts up its belly to get red riding hood and granmother out.
The little match girl. This is the saddest fairytale of all. My granmother used too read it too me and my cusins at christmastime. That, and the christmastree allso by H.CAndersen. That always made me so sad when the poor tree is put in the fireplace buhuuu 😥The Snow Queen. Know it from a russian tv cartoon version. Prettymuch all fairytales that take place at wintertime has made a great impact on me as a child, don’t know why..
A norwegian, I think it is, fairytale called East of the Sun and West of the Moon. Even the title is like music to my ears.. It is about a girl who is upducted by an icebear and taken out too the woods. She ends up saving the bear, who turns out to be a king cursed by an evil witch. This fairytale is considered by some, to be inspiration of Beauty and the Beast. pretty opvious why.
The Pied Piper of Hamelin. Don’t ask why..
The Wonderful adventures of Niels Holgersen.
There are so many great ones !! 😀

I do not why, but as a child I loved the story of “Der Rattenfänger von Hameln” The Pied Piper of Hamelin”Oh my God ! How funny, I just wrote the same thing 😆
I thought I was the only one who liked that story as a child.Medchen: The match girl is I think is so sad. Last month I was in Efterling (Netherlands) and there they have a window with beautiful view of a city and in the other window you see the girl sitting in the cold. They told the story of the girl. I was so thankfull as the daughter of my cousin wanted to get out, because it is so a sad story. Outside I told my cousin the end of the story, because she didn’t knew it and I said that grandmother take her home to heaven and she will never froze again. I said it is a very sad story, but my cousin said if her grandmother take her home, then it is nice.
Anderson has great fairytales, but there have no happy ending for me. I like the Disney version of the little mermaid much more then the original, where the mermaid dancing with pain, loose the voice and not get at all her beloved and died. OK in the end she doesn’t disapear end earn a sole, because she doesn’t kil him to be a mermaid again but I wish for her to be happy in this and next world.
Heros don't get their Happy Ending!
H.C. Andersens tales with the sad endings are his best ones I think.
I also adore The steadfast TinsoldierIt ends like this:
The tin soldier stood there dressed in flames. He felt a terrible heat, but whether it came from the flames or from his love he didn’t know. He’d lost his splendid colors, maybe from his hard journey, maybe from grief, nobody can say.He looked at the little lady, and she looked at him, and he felt himself melting. But still he stood steadfast, with his musket held trim on his shoulder.
Then the door blew open. A puff of wind struck the dancer. She flew like a sylph, straight into the fire with the soldier, blazed up in a flash, and was gone. The tin soldier melted, all in a lump. The next day, when a servant took up the ashes she found him in the shape of a little tin heart. But of the pretty dancer nothing was left except her spangle, and it was burned as black as a coal.
You make me cry. 😉 Thanks for the sharing the story of the Tin soldier. I couldn’t remember it. That would be probably the sadest things of all.
Heros don't get their Happy Ending!
You’re very welcome 🙂
Ah yes! Sad love stories, the world’s full of them. 😥
But we doo so love hearing them, right 😀
