My cousin had a collective fairytale book when we were little (1980s) that included Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Jack and the Beanstalk, and the Three Billygoat's Gruff to name a few. I think it had all of the characters on the front of the book and it was possibly red.

Possibly the Grimm Brothers or Hans Christian Anderson. Hans --I think is the right one.

Might be one of Andrew Lang's edited fairy tale books. They have titles like The Red Fairy Book, The Brown Fairy Book, or The Yellow Fairy Book.
Andrew Lang's Fairy Books or Andrew Lang's "Coloured" Fairy Books are a twelve-book series of fairy tale collections. Although Andrew Lang did not collect the stories himself from the oral tradition, the extent of his sources (who had collected them originally), made them an immensely influential collection, especially as he used foreign-language sources, giving many of these tales their first appearance in English. As acknowledged in the prefaces, although Lang himself made most of the selections, his wife and other translators did a large portion of the translating and telling of the actual stories.
Many of them were illustrated by Henry J. Ford. Lancelot Speed also did some illustrations.
