Folktales of England
Folktales of England by Katharine M. Briggs and Ruth L. Tongue
A collection of tales. Many are done in phonetic renditions of dialect, which can be a bit hard to read.
Very few fairy tales. One is a cross between a fairy tale -- kind and unkind girls -- with more anecdotal fairy lore, such as not eating fairy food and being blinded for seeing something they don't want you to see.
A lot of legends. The jocular tales were less to my taste, some were full blown urban legends.
