This book forms part of our 'Pook Press' imprint, celebrating the golden age of illustration in children's literature. 'The Ingoldsby Legends' are a true classic of Children's literature. They were penned by Richard Harris Barham (1788-1845), better known by his nom de plume, Thomas Ingoldsby. The stories were inspired by real legends and old mythology, mostly deliberately humorous parodies and pastiches of medieval folklore and poetry. This collection also includes several poems by the author, including 'The Poplar', 'Marie Mignot' and 'The Truants.' The text is accompanied by a series of dazzling colour illustrations by Arthur Rackham (1867-1939). One of the most celebrated painters of the British Golden Age of Illustration, which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the first world war, Rackham's artistry still delights both young and old over a century later. Presented alongside the text, his illustrations further refine Ingoldsby's masterful storytelling.
