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:
Google Search Results: Definitions of Fairy Tale On The Web
://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&c2coff=1&safe=off&oi=defmore&q=define:fairy+tale


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:

"fairy tales" "all-time" favorites 50
://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&safe=off&c2coff=1&q=%22fairy+tales%22+%22all-time+favorites%22+50


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.
