A very good collection of folk tales from Britain.  The author tried hard to make sure that the stories were commonly from Britain though they may have spread elsewhere or a variation came from elsewhere.  Some very English folk tales?  Henny Penny, Jack and the Beanstalk,  there are many Jack tales, and The Three Bears.  Most have humourous endings and seem to be stories to amuse everyone.  Jacobs,  the author said he used fairy tales in the title because no kid ever asks for a folk tale.
