He has taken up the work which Wilhelm Grimm dropped in 1859, and shown from the huge accumulations of folk-tales that have appeared during the last thirty years that there is a common fund of folk-tales which every country of Europe without exception possesses, though this does not of course preclude them from possessing others that are not shared by the rest.
Who acts: M., Wilhelm, folk tales, that, common fund, this · What happens: take up, drop, show, appear, be, country · To what, where: work, 1859, huge accumulations, tales, others, folk tales
