The publication of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm's Children's and Household Tales two hundred years ago sparked enormous interest in traditional stories told among "the common people." Inspired by the Grimms' methods, researchers began venturing outside the library and into villages to collect colorful tales of magical beasts, wicked stepmothers, enchanted objects, and unrelenting heroes.

The study of Children's and Household Tales resulted in the discovery that
(A)field research is highly effective

- 01:52
to see rather than saying that all heroes look the
- 01:54
same well the research suggested that different ethnic groups had
- 01:57
their own version of similar heroes right so it's a
- 02:00
different piece there okay answers be and you know maybe 00:02:04.348 --> [endTime] grim force be with you or whatever they had
