Jacob And Wilhelm Grimm, Collectors And Editors Of More Than 200 Folk Stories, Were Major German Intellects Of The Nineteenth Century, Contemporaries Of Goethe And Schiller. But As Paradiz Reveals Here, The Romantic Image Of The Two Brothers Traveling The Countryside, Transcribing Tales Told To Them By Peasants, Is A Far Cry From The Truth.
