As primary education became compulsory from the late nineteenth century, **** became an important category of readers. It is so because :
(i) Production of school textbooks became critical for the publishing industry.
(ii) A ****’ press, devoted to literature for *** alone, was set up in France in 1857.
(iii) This press published new works as well as old ***** tales and folk tales.
(iv) The Grimm Brothers in Germany spent years compiling traditional folk tales gathered from peasants.
(v) Anything that was considered unsuitable for **** or would appear vulgar to the elites, was not included in the published version.
(vi) Rural folk tales thus acquired a new form. In this way, print recorded old tales but also changed them.
