Fairy Tales and Fantastic Stories by Terry Jones illustrated Michael Foreman. (Terry Jones of Monty Python legend doing kid's stories)
For a more grown-up saga, and not quite sure how it might be separate, out of the rest of the novel - Try Chapter 5 of A Prayer for Owen Meany, "A Ghost of the Future" as Owen participates in a Christmas Pageant.
