From Goodreads:

This Mammoth anthology contains classic fairy tales in their original and wonderful forms, the best modern renditions of old favorites (many never before published in books), and new stories specially written for this volume. If you think fairy tales have been relegated forever to the nursery in vapid, bowdlerized versions of the original stories, your mind will be changed by editor Mike Ashley’s selection from such enchanting storytellers as Charles Perrault, the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen, Kenneth Grahame, and A. A. Milne; literary greats like Dickens, Thackeray, and Oscar Wilde; and modern writers like C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien. Contemporary fantasists Angela Carter, Tanith Lee, and others offer further delights with their imaginative, distinctly modern takes on the old tales. Illustrated throughout with drawings specially commissioned for this book, The Mammoth Book of Fairy Tales also contains an introduction chronicling the history of the fairy ale that puts these magical stories in their proper literary context.
