Fairy Tales

Fairy tales are children stories such as Little Red Riding Hood or the Three Little Pigs. Everything is possible in the land of make believe and children use their imagination to create new characters and new adventures. Many of these fairy tales have been adapted into movies or films. The most popular ones are those from Andersen and Grimm.
