Children’s collection driving me crazy.
My brother and I have been looking for our favorite childhood fairy tale/folk/fables/story collection from when we were kids in the mid-1980s. What we remember: It was a mostly white cover, with big letters, hardbound. Simple color illustrations that went along with the short versions of the tales. Stories we remember:
– The Honest Woodcutter
– Rumpelstiltskin
– King Midas and his Golden Touch
– Rip Van Winkle
– The Princess and the Pea
– Gingerbread Man
– Twelve Dancing Princesses
– The Fox and the Grapes
– The Salt Merchant and the Donkey
That’s all we can remember.
This is the strumpee. Just wanted to add that it *might* have been story/page for every night (365) book.
Howdy! I think I know which book – I only found it finally last year after a very long search of my own! I got a copy, and I treasure it.
The Book of Goodnight Stories by Vratislav Stovicek, Karel Franta, Stephen Finn.
Sorry for linking to Amazon, I’d prefer an indie, but they have images:

Thanks, sorry! I didn’t know it could be purchased through you. 🙂
Hmm, that’s not it. Looks like a great book to get my nephew and goddaughter though!
