Loved the Hans Christian Anderson tales. Especially The Emperor's New Clothes. The Grimm's fairlytale ones weren't as good adaptations though.

A wonderful acted version of fairy tales, with actors for each part and music/ sound effects. A couple of stories have the non-sterilised versions- eg you might need to prepare your child for the fact that the little mermaid doesn’t survive..!

Lovely performances of traditional tales
