I was searching for a time line of fairy tales and ran across this page. It lists the beginning (at least of popularity) that each fairy tale or nursery rhyme began. Its interesting to see which ones supposedly were created before others and also how many look familiar to me; I count a total of 34 and I recognize around 30 of them.
