Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm are mainly worldwide renowned for their collection
of fairy tales – but they were also language- and cultural researchers,
diplomats, lawyers, professors, librarians and politicians. They were born
in Hanau as the eldest children of a Calvinist pastor's family with civil
service ties.

 Introduction
to How The West Was Won
By Professor Sir Christopher Frayling
How The West Was Won began life not with a script commission from the
executives at Cinerama Inc or with an original treatment sent in from an
agent, but with a series of seven historical articles in Life
magazine—running from April 6th to May 18th 1959. |
