There are thousands of folk and fairy tales.  Let me know if you want to focus on any particular theme, such as classic fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Anderson, or folk tales fromaround the world, or one particular nation/ethnicity, or tales retold by contemporary author/illustrators, or collections of tales so you have a new story to read every night.  I'm programmable.
