Real fairy tales like the Grimm boys should've writtten them

I loved these books as a kid. I've been searching for them for ages. I can still remember the spot underneath the shelves at my primary, high school and community libraries where I would sit on the carpet and read these books over and over again. A great introduction to other cultures for kids too - a reminder that Cinderella and Snow White aren't the only fairy tales in the world.
