Some of my favorite books on fairytales.

Hello to all who might read this, friends, family, and fellow daydreamers who manage to somehow get where we're going while living in our heads!
My sister Gail and Cousin Katya have inspired me to start a blog by having excellent ones themselves, and so here I am. I thought for the first post of mine I would make a list of my absolutely favorite books on fairytales. These are books I have and couldn't imagine life without! These are books I have read over and over and over again, and often find myself flipping through when I want to look up a particular fairytale figure or mythic creature or some such other interesting tidbit of the fantastic.
(In no particular order but that in which they come to mind.)
