Q: What kind of fairytales do I like most?

A: I love love love love love stories about fairies and mermaids. I think after growing up with books about pixie hollow fairies and mermaids, movies like Aquamarine, and online games like Disney's Pixie Hollow Virtual World, anything having to do with them makes me remember the wonderful days of my childhood. This being said, I think I am most excited for the Asian/African and Celtic units.
