Thanks for the question.

Favorites," retold and illustrated by Johnny C. Young. It is
distributed (at least domestically in the U.S.) by a California
organization called Reflections of Asia. Here is a link to its

While definitions of the term "fairy tale" vary (and I don't know what
your working definition is), Mr. Young's Top 50 list appears to
satisfy most if not all of the definitions of the term found on the
Web:

Search Strategy
I used various Google searches specifically designed to locate a long
list of favorite fairy tales from an apparently reliable source.
This one turned out to be successful:

Based on your request for the information, I am confident that this is
exactly what you are seeking. If anything is unclear, please ask for
clarification before rating the answer.
