Essential list of books
I guess I'd have to say I can think of 100+ books that I think are virtually essential. What seems to me to be really missing from your list are the oldest and newest. For starters here are a few:
The Bloody Chamber - Angela Carter
Kissing the Witch - Emma Donoghue
Il Pentamerone - Basile
Any (or all) of the 4 books by John Gardner

Re: Essential list of books
Oh, there are so many! But I also love my English Fairy Tales and More English Fairy Tales by Joseph Jacobs--both the ABC-CLIO and Everyman's Library editions contain both in one volume. Here's the others I think of when I am not anywhere near my shelves:
Joseph Jacobs' English Fairy Tales
Thomas Crane's Italian Popular Tales
Yeat's Irish Fairy Tales
Andersen's Fairy Tales
Oscar Wilde's Fairy Tales
Campbell's Popular Tales of the West Highlands
Richard Chase's Grandfather Tales and Jack Tales
And not as necessary, but certainly nice to have:
Maid from the North and Tatterhood and Other Tales: Stories of Magic and Adventure by Ethel Johnston Phelps
Fearless Girls, Wise Women, and Beloved Sisters: Heroines in Folktales from Around the World by Kathleen Ragan
Stith Thompson's One Hundred Favorite Folktales
And ALL of the Andrew Lang Fairy Books
Marie Campbell's Tales from Cloudwalking Country
Do explore SurLaLune though. There are lists and lists of books, modern interpretations and academic stuff which I am not even beginning to list here...

However, the others, I don't have. I will now try to seek
them out!
