This is just a stunning, rare, and sought-after printing of this book. I was lucky enough to have one many years ago once. It is a real Victorian-era masterpiece, and I must say it is a showpiece book! Just look at it! It is filled with incredible mysterious tales and magic cover to cover. They don't make books like these anymore, and they never will; I would snag this one... When it's gone, I don't think I can replace it.;

The Ingoldsby Legends or Mirth and Marvels is a unique collection of myths, legends, ghost stories, and poetry. Written by Thomas Ingoldsby of Tappington Manor, a pen-name of the English clergyman Richard Harris Barham, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into the folklore and literature of the Victorian era.
The Ingoldsby Legends Tales of Ghosts Witches Witchcraft The Devil Good vs Evil the Occult & more. This is a very old book and does show some signs of wear.

The overall condition of this book is good for being printed over 130 years ago. It has some normal shelf wear, age, and time but has been well-kept.
