Query: Collection of world "fairy" stories?

[womzilla]

Can you recommend a collection of traditional magic stories that includes stories from outside Western and Central Europe?

I'm looking for something like the equivalent of Andrew Lang's [Color] Fairy Books, but wider-ranging.

This is for me, but I thought a collection of "fairy stories" would be most likely to get the weird stories that are really part of cultural currency.

Since I haven't read much of the Lang, I hadn't quite realized how young it's pitched. I have all of those electronically; I should read through them some time.
