There are SO many fairy tale collections that it is quite intimidating. to find the right one. I had a quest like that myself! Try to recall as many details as possible.

Here's a good list to help you brainstorm: https://www.biblio.com/book-collecting/basics/what-to-do-when-you-cant-remember-the-title-of-a-long-lost-childrens-book/

I found my bedtime story book after a few years of searching! I hope you can find yours!

If you can remember the publishing year, or the name of the publisher, worldcat.org might help

I was so young, I'd never have even looked at that, but I won't give up!

r/whatsthatbook and r/tipofmytongue might be worth posting in

This may be a long shot, but I had something that sounds really similar, also in the 70s. It was 18 books and called a Children's Treasury of Fairy Tales.

Good luck!

Hi there. Per rule 3.4, your post is better suited for asking in /r/WhatsThatBook or /r/tipofmytongue. Thank you!

There used to be a site called Loganberry Books where there was a hive mind of readers who helped people find out the title of books. They never could find the books my husband was interested in, but it was worth a try.

Could the illustrator have been Arthur Rackham? He did fairy tales back when they did not expurgate them for children, and his illustrations were wonderful.
