I'd really like it if we could alternate between well-known American and British fairy tales and some of the little-known ones from other countries on the Wikipedia page. Wiki gives the full story of the fairy tale and it would be fun to learn some new ones!

Ones I'd particularly enjoy doing include: The Gingerbread Man, The Pied Piper of Hamlin, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and Hansel and Gretel. I'm personally not keen on Disney or copies of Disney drawings, so would prefer to have stories which haven't been done as Disney films.

Some of my favourite fairytales are The wild swans (also known as the six swans), The steadfast tin soldier, Thumbelina, The nightingale, Bremen town musicians, One-eye two-eyes and three- eyes, The pied piper of Hamelin, Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin and Sinbad the Sailor

Ooh, yes -- Rapunzel and Rusalka and all the ones marianne81 listed get my vote too!

I'm partial to all the Grimm fairytales like Rapunzel, the Frog King, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Mother Frost...

I would love to see some that haven't been adapted by Disney because I think Disney shaped the characters so much that we only think of these characters now when we think of these fairy tales, and it would be nice to do some more research and read the actual fairy tale and let us be inspired for our art by that
