Hello dtnl42-ga,

I have a list of the top 10 most popular and also the top 47 popular
fairy tales, but coming up with the last 3 with a reference is tricky.
I can include 3 of my personal favorites that are not on the list if
you would like, or can can give you the referenced material above,
would this be acceptable to you as an answer?

dtn142 --

As an alternative to nenna-ga's suggestion, I could give you a list
from a published book comprised of one author's choice of exactly the
"top 50" fairy tale favorites as retold and illustrated by him.  The
book contains all of the universally known tales, and the rest appear
to me (a non-expert) to be a reasonable list of all-time favorites.

The book is available from a substantial U.S. distributor of books,
music and other products produced for the American Filipino market,
and this author is represented by another book (on Filipino customs)
as well.

My hesitance to post that list without clarification that it would
meet your needs is that the only information I have found on the book
is its listing at the distributor's website, which includes an image
of its cover and its table of contents.
