I can't say that fairy tales ever made much of an impression upon me. At least not the classic ones. Things like cinderalla, snow white, little red, et al have never seemed all that profound or inciteful.
This isn't to say that children's tales are devoid and without value. I think that the animorphs series of stories by K.A. Applegate are exceptionally deep and something I would want any hypothetical children of mine to grow up reading.
I'm just not a huge fan of the brothers grimm.
