Description:
London: J.M. Dent & Co, 1907. Second (and best) trade edition. Large quarto. Original green cloth stamped in gilt. Pictorial endpapers.

Monell on front paste-down. Written under the nom-de-plume of clergyman Richard Harris Barham, The Ingoldsby Legends was a collection of myths and ghost stories that blended humor with the grotesque. Largely composed in rhyme, the stories emphasize figures such as saints and gods; and they were published to delight a Victorian audience increasingly interested in sensationalist gothic literature. Latimore and Haskell 30-31. Riall 83.
