Yes, I agree that these are on Project Gutenberg.  But I wanted this
translation, not the ones currently available.

Thanks.

Hi,

Just a note that Project Gutenberg at http://www.gutenberg.org/ has at least
two translations of the apparently original fairy tales as well as many,
many sanitized versions.  These various translations have been around for
many decades and are available for free online.
