This brings the American child’s fairy tale up to recent publications of the present day which are given in the chapter, “Sources of Material.”  An attempt has been made here to give a glimpse of folk and fairy tales up to the time of the Grimms, and a view of modern publications in France, Germany, England, and America.  The Grimms started a revolution in folk-lore and in their lifetime took part in the collection of many tales of tradition and influenced many others in the same line of work.  An enumeration of what was accomplished in their lifetime appears in the notes of Grimm’s Household Tales, edited by Margaret Hunt, published by Bonn’s Libraries, vol.  II, pp. 531. etc.
