The Grimm Fairy Tales
The Grimms’ Fairy Tales is a major classic collected in Germany by the two brothers, Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm. While you can read them online, there is now a beautiful collection of them by a Grimm scholar who has translated them back as close to the original stories that the Grimms recorded as possible. After the brothers first published them they came under some pressure to edit them for the children of the time, so some of the rougher aspects got polished out of many of the tales. If you can, I recommend “The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm”, translated and edited by Jack Zipes.

RJ Stewart
His book, Living World of Faery, (Mercury Publishing, 1999), was hugely influential on my early practice. Combining various stands of folklore and ritual magic, this and the books that followed it are very much worth investigating.

True Thomas
