I reread your version of Prince/Buttons the other day and loved it very much!
Hansel and Gretel because of the gingerbread house.
Jack and the Beanstalk beecause you could imagine planting something and then waking up to see it bigger...just like the apple pips you put down the sink.
King Midas; as to have wishes and to be able to touch things seemed so real and immediate and possible for a 4yo. Now, strangely, I adore roses and cross a road to smell them. My first present as a child that I remember receiving.
The Three Bears....for the repetition. I hated Goldilocks and couldnt understand why she was so rude and bad mannered. Hated her. Dreadful.
Hans C.A....the emperor's new clothes....as the idea of a kid being right was very appealing when aged 6yo, but also confusing; couldnt understand why the adults would be fooled. Incomprehensible but also vaguely self-satisfying.

thanks for the post; veryinteresting to revisit a past-life!
