I had a much harder time tracking down the original, 1812 edition of the Grimm's stories along with the original introduction. The best I could find digitally was an edition translated by Oliver Loo and published in 2014. It's currently available on Amazon for just $3.00:

If anyone would like a hand finding alternate translations of the sources, other versions of the stories, or the medieval art that inspired my drawings, feel free to send me a PM.
I did a search on this recently as well - and I ended up checking out Polish Folklore and Myth by Joanne Asala from my library's interlibrary-loan program. The stories were short but I enjoyed them - Asala included a wide breadth of tales - they weren't all childish or chivalrous either - which I enjoyed.
I'm still investigating other books...but I do recommend the one I listed above - it's a good starting point.
Magical Folk: British and Irish Fairies is due out any day (I wrote the chapter on Cornish piskies and knockers). The editors, Simon Young and Ceri Houbrook were hoping that it would provide something of an update for the excellent - but twenty-five-year-old - The Good People: New Fairylore Essays. One of the posts here recommended Katharine Briggs' Encyclopaedia, which is excellent. But it is an encyclopaedia so it is a source book more than an illumination - which may be what you seek.
The best most complete in my opinion are these books by Pierre Dubois: https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Encyclopedia-Goblins-Little-Creatures/dp/0789208784
https://www.amazon.com/Great-Encyclopedia-Faeries-Pierre-Dubois/dp/0684869578
Look no more!
I found it, but now that I have, I'm realizing the memory of what it actually was seems to have gone through the washer a few times. Looks like it was a collection of fairy tales from the Weimar Republic, not the Third Reich.
