    This is an amusing collection of myths, legends, and ghost stories, supposedly written by 'Thomas Ingoldsby of Tappington Manor'.

    Volume III contains stories such as 'The Blasphemer's Warning', 'Hints for an Historical Play', and 'As I Laye A-Thynkynge'. 

    Written by Richard Harris Barham (1788-1845), an English cleric, novelist, and humorous poet. He is best known for his 'The Ingoldsby Legends', and is also a character in George MacDonald Fraser's historical novel, 'Flashman's Lady'.
