   For fairytales, I love the SurLaLune website. They have a list of fairytales that you’re likely to be familiar with, along with tales from several different cultures. Check it out!

   try wikipedia-ing the following:
   the brother’s grimm, fairy tales, and fables
   should produce a nice listing for you. wikipedia will probably offer links for a synopsis (short description) or each story (probably should just click on the name of the story to get the description page).

   Get the complete works of Hans Christian Anderson and the Grimm Brothers; also the Kalevala (a Finnish tale); Baba Yaga (Ukranian); See Chris Siren’s website for Sumerian stuff (http://home.comcast.net/~chris.s/assyrbabyl-faq.html).

   Off the top of my head (I have a very fairy tale active 4 year old):
   Little Mermaid
   Hansel & Gretel
   Puss In Boots
   Twelve Dancing Princesses
   Tin Soldier
   Matchstick Girl
   Elves and Shoemaker
   Nutcracker
   Rapunzel
   Three Little Pigs
   Little Red Riding Hood
   Spider and the Fly
   Three Billy Goats Gruff
   Beauty & the Beast
   Dancing Shoes
   Prince & Pauper
   Jack & Beanstalk
   Goose that Laid the Golden Egg
   Peter & the Wolf
   Aladdin/Arabian Nights (Pre Disney)
   Snow White & Rose Red
   Rudyard Kipling’s Just So Stories
   Little Engine that Could
   Pinocchio
   Tom Thumb
   Jungle Book
   Peter Rabbit
   Winnie The Pooh
   Blue Beard (a bit much in the way of terrifying…)
   Ugly Duckling
   Emperor’s New Clothes
   Doctor Dolittle
   Bambi

   Many Bible, Greek, Roman, African & Egyptian Myths & Medieval tales have been adapted for young children as well.

   Good luck,
