Yes, I second the recommendation for the colored fairy books. They are collected & put out by Andrew Lang. They contain what I would consider "classic" European fairy tales which is to say they are pretty Anglo in their outlook.

If you want to go for more specific mythology and folklore, "European" is honestly a pretty broad category and I would consider breaking down more specifically via region, aka, Scandanavian folklore, Irish folklore, Roman/Grecian, etc.

I'm afraid I can't recommend anything on Polish folklore in general but I think a quick search on Amazon should yield something like what you are looking for.
