The Best Tales of Hoffmann, ETA Hoffmann (one of my favorites)
Celtic Myth and Legends, ed. Rolleston (dry, but I need to get through it)
Amrita, Banana Yoshimoto
Fearless Girls, Wise Women & Beloved Sisters: Heroines in folktales from around the world; Kathleen Ragalan (love the stories, find the commentary a little to opinionated for my tastes)
and Irish Folktales, ed Henry Glassie (excellent collection)
Most of these I'm re-reading or trying to muddle through. I'm currently in a folklore & magic realism mood. I highly recommend Banana, Hoffman and the Glassie collection.
