I believe that your teacher may be thinking of Thomas Caxton. He, an Englishman, 
collected fairy tales and
folk tales from Europe and had them printed in the 1500's (early 1500's I think).  
The Grimm brothers took
many of the tales Caxton had collected and reprinted them with some modern changes 
(Cinderella's glass slipper
was originally fur) in the 1800's.  I can't say that I've heard Caxton called the 
original Mother Goose, but I
am also a neophyte.
