Fairy Tales 1900-2005

Taken from Jonathan Gray's candidate lists of bibliographic entries and structurally rendered into Python to facilitate experimenting.

The first few entries. See attachment:fairytalecollections1900_2005.py for full data.

There is at least one other (hand-guided) transform to perform, that of splitting the Location-Publisher-Date tuple into Location-Country-Publisher-Date.
