Most of the fairy tales are ancient folklores & it's hard to trace back to it's original creators. Still I wanted to see which nakshatra natives has contributed to this field.

These German scholars are perhaps the most famous fairy tale collectors of all time. This collection was actually done as a part of their academic work.
Manyย popular tales reached a wider audience through their collection, including:
โญLittle Red Riding Hood
โญHansel and Gretel
โญSnow White
โญSleeping Beauty
โญThe Frog Prince
โญRapunzel
This reminds me of wannowing basket symbol of Purva Asadha; separating good from the bad. After going on a journey of gathering knowledge in Mula, at this stage we're "sorting out" the information we've gathered & making it more refined & palatable โ๏ธ
Charles Perrault

Uttara Bhadrapada / Revati๐
Shravana Ketu
Heย is sometimes dubbed the "father ofย fairy tales"
Charles Perraultย was a French writer who lived in the 1600s and wrote stories inspired by folk tales. His collectionย Les Contes de ma Mรจre lโOye (Stories of Mother Goose)ย was very influential
Some tales he is best known for include:
โญLittle Red Riding Hood
โญSleeping Beauty
โญCinderella**
โญBluebeard
โญPuss in Boots
**His version of Cinderella, for example, is the one English speakers are most familiar with (with the fairy godmother and the pumpkin carriage etc.)
This is so interesting to me that Disney Cinderella was played by a pisces as well similar to Perrault

Punarvasu ketu
Andersenย was a Danish fairy tale writerย active in the 1800s. His collections ofย Eventyr (Fairy Tales)ย contain many beloved and popular fairy tales that have since inspired many adaptations and retellings, and his name is one synonymous with fairy tales.
Famous tales include:
โญThe Little Mermaidย
โญThe Snow Queen
โญThumbelina
โญThe Ugly Duckling
โญThe Princess and the Pea
โญThe Steadfast Tin Soldier
โญThe Nightingale
โญThe little match girl
(can you see the revati influence?)
Specially ugly ducking is said to be inspired by his own life. Even after being so widely successful & well known he was never at peace & always felt like an outcaste.(bharani being outcaste nakshatra)
Also this concept of drastic transformation (mermaid to human/ ducking to swan) can be co-related to his Jyestha / Scorpio rising.
many of his works like little mermaid was inspired by his own unrequited love. He has an exalted venus, so unconditional/ unrequited love is a prominent theme.
The nightingale has that "return of the light" theme of punarvasu
Joseph Jacobs

Anuradha Ketu
Joseph Jacobsย was an Australianย folklorist who published several collections ofย classicย English fairy tales. His collectionsย contain what are now some of the best known versions of famous tales, and were very influential.
Some well-known fairy tales from Jacobsโs Collection:
๐ทThe Three Little Pigs
๐ฑJack and the Bean Stalk
๐ปGoldilocks and the three Bears
Anuradha with animal influence keep showing (similar to alice in wonderland)
Jack & the bean stalk seemed more swati to me ๐ฑ๐ง what do you think? qrt
not to mention the wolf was trying to blow off the pigs houses ๐ฌ๏ธ

Hisย Arabian Nightsย โ a version of theย Arabicย 1001 Nights collection was particularly influential. It included -

๐งโโ๏ธ The seven voyage of Sindbad
๐งโโ๏ธThe forty Theives
๐งโโ๏ธ The rat catcher a.k.a pied piper of hamelin
"pied piper" Seems like a mix of his Revati (the magician / rat cather ๐ฃ) & rat yoni ๐ influence
also voyage of sindbad & forty theives was very Revati as well? ๐ง
Another interesting co-relation in disney Aladdin, Jasmin was voiced by a โ โ๏ธ โ๐ as well.

๐งโโ๏ธ translated the 1001 Nights collection into French from the original Arabic, and is believed to have invented the popular stories Aladdin and Ali Baba, becauseย they do not appear in original Arabic versions.

coined the term โfairy talesโ that we now use for the genre
Madame dโAulnoyย was aย French countess/baroness and writer who published twoย fairy tale collections, Les Contes des Fรฉesย (Fairy Tales).While her fairy tales donโt tend to be the versionsย most popular today, she was anย influential figure in the history of the genre.
Some tales from the Aulnoyโsย collection:
โญFinette Cendron (a similar tale to Cinderella)
โญGraciosa and Percinet (a similar tale to Snow White)
โญThe White Cat
Even if we don't have her accurate birth date, white cat seemed very ashlesha to me ๐ง

* Initially I was expecting to see more pisces but sagittarius & scorpio influence outnumbered the rest
Now that I think about it most fairy tales features the protagonist in a distressed situation. Lost in a jungle or chaotic place ; no one else to depend on but themselves (reference to 8H/scorpio) also explains the occult references in fairy tales.
eventually coming out of that situation through their own bravery, honesty & hardwork to find "happily ever after" (reference to 9H/ saggitarius) often helped by devine intervention (Jupiter)
Leo & Pisces influence with the element of independence & adventure. Leo is where we begin our "soul searching" (sun=soul). We are on our own with just our inner light to guide us.
Pisces being final stage we have completed our worldy journey & have gathered everything needed to start a other worldly / magical journey (12H / Pisces) full of adventure & uncertainity. Explains the imagination driven nature of fairy tales.
