Thumbelina!! My fav!!!
I like The Snow Queen and The princess and the pea oso....
Now i shall read those I hv not read b4... -
My daddy bought me his book long time ago.... all the stories compiled into one....
The stories are good... but i never liked that book.....
1. The drawings are not nice... It was dull and looks all too real...not cartoon enough for me...
2. Little Mermaid had a tragic ending.... It was so sad... I remember asking my mum why must little Mermaid die.. can't the prince just marry the both of them??? That's why Disney's little mermaid was my dream come true....... -

That's why Disney's little mermaid was my dream come true....... I only remembered picking up a book in the library and was immediately entranced! The story was princess and the pea. Happy ending!
Though somehow I find the sad endings somewhat made sense, and fitting... Speaking of Disney, I prefer Cinderella... and wonder... who wrote it...
