Disappointing
Supposedly comprehensive, The Oxford Companion to Fairy Tales has flaws stemming from a characteristic noticeable in other of Jack Zipes' books related to children's literature: a limited knowledge of the field that leads to coverage of topics that fall within two disparate areas, one rather esoteric and the other common knowledge.

Excellent imperfect resource for Western literary fairy tale
This is an excellent first edition of a resource book which has carefully limited its scope "Western", "literary" "fairy tale".
