Terri Windling's ``Fairy Tales'' series should be suitable --- even the most violent (Jane Yolen's _Briar Rose_ has most of the violence slightly off-camera [political]).
Charles de Lint handles things well and most of his books are very enjoyable. His _Svaha_ [political] is one of my favourites.
Megan Lindholm's _Cloven Hooves_ [interaction between people/development of relationships] is only emotionally violent, but extremely moving and an amazing story.
R. A. MacAvoy's books have only the minimal level of violence needed to create conflict --- _Tea with the Black Dragon_ [thriller] is fabulous (but I even enjoyed the sequel, _Twisting the Rope_ [suspense]), _The Book of Kells_ [intrigue] is mostly time travel, but still a lot of fun.
