The Ingoldsby Legends is a collection of myths, legends, ghost stories and poems written supposedly by Thomas Ingoldsby of Tappington Manor, actually a pen-name of an English clergyman named Richard Harris Barham [1788-1845]. Arthur Rackham RWS [1867-1939] was an English book illustrator. He is recognized as one of the leading figures during the Golden Age of British book illustration. His work is noted for its robust pen and ink drawings, which were combined with the use of watercolor, a technique he developed due to his background as a journalistic illustrator. In addition to the 1898 first edition thus, Rackham also illustrated a limited edition of The Ingoldsby Legends published in 1907 and in somewhat larger format.
