The Key of Gold, 23 Czech Folk Tales

No ordinary fairy tale, this collection is a mixture of moral, bizarre and ironic. Among them are ironic derivatives (if not roots) of famous fairy tales such as "The Brave Little Taylor" and "Beauty and the Beast", and the popular fairy tale justice and have fun. Most of the stories are told with wry humor, often with a shocking disrespect for the expected consequences of fairy tales. This is not a children's book, but a book for adults who love fairy tales and love fairy tales.

Disclaimer: End of story 09 has racist content. It is not omitted in this anthology because its task is to read rather than rewrite.
