I can go into plot details for these if it helps. Author was female. Thanks!

The other story is "The Imp and the Crust" and from what I could find it was retold by Tolstoy. The woman you refer to was probably the editor, not the author unless the stories were retellings. Since there have been so many collections of fairy tales, it's hard to say specifically which one it is. You could try looking though the SurLaLune Bookstore (www.surlalunefairytales.c...ndex.html) to see if you can locate something similar.
