“If I’m honest I have to tell you I still read fairy-tales and I like them best of all.”
― Audrey Hepburn

It’s read a fairy tale day today. And despite the fact that the modern Disney versions differ wildly from the original stories and are perhaps too saccharine for some, I’m with Audrey. I still love them.  They are cautionary tales with a happy ending mostly as @neilhimself wrote in Coraline, “Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.” Little Red Riding Hood was one of my favourites when I was growing up - she seemed a pretty brave, strong girl to take on a creepy trip through the woods and a wolf. 
One of my daughter’s favourites is Mr Wolf’s Pancakes by Jan Fearnley. I love how it turns the old tale of the wolf being a baddie on its head and the ending is pure joy.  No spoiler alerts here though. You’ll have to read it.

So in a world where not everything is a fairy tale ending, perhaps it’s an excuse today to re-read an old favourite for a bit of a lift. Sure, the old original tales are a bit darker but there’s always Disney to put a good spin on it.
