I was thinking about all the fairy tales I had the pleasure to read while I was growing up. Then it occurred to me that there were two distinct categories-Mother Goose Tales, and Grimms Fairy Tales. I always preferred the Mother Goose ones, but I did learn to enjoy the Grimm's as I grew older. Which were your favorites when you were a child? Or, did you even prefer one over the other?

I think I was a Grimm's fan. I liked both and had a big book of mother goose tales. But I have always been a fairy tale girl at heart.

When I was younger all I ever heard was the Mother Goose fairy tales. It wasn't til I was much older that I got an interest in Grimm's fairy tales. Now I like a fair mixture of both, yes I'll forever be the kid at heart..lol

Mother Goose ...my favorite - Mother Goose stories
I was always a Mother Goose fan even when I started having kids. I think it was when they got older that I really started reading the Grimms Fairy Tales. I think they are more geared towards the older child.
