I don't know if I actually have a favorite. Hansel and Gretel is way up there, though.

I generally like the Grimm tales ... I have a relatively new translation of the stories which is much better than the "regular" versions that are best known here in America. There are some really creepy ones.

Grimm's Grimmest also puts a very interesting spin on the stories.

I remember having a book of the Hans Christian Andersen stories as a child ... scared the cookies out of me. Much better than the Disneyized versions ...
