"Ingoldsby Legends" is a collection of myths, legends, ghost stories, and poems supposedly written by Thomas Ingoldsby of Tappington Manor, the pseudonym of an English clergyman named Richard Harris Barham.
The legends were first printed in 1837 as a regular serial in Bentley's Miscellany and later in the New Monthly Magazine. They proved immensely popular and were collected into books published in 1840, 1842 and 1847 by Richard Bentley. They remained popular throughout the 19th century, and went through many editions. They were illustrated by artists including, John Leech, George Cruikshank, John Tenniel and Arthur Rackham (1898 edition).
