Richard Bentley. London. 1870. Large 8vo. Illustrated one volume edition. xiv, 513 pages. With illustrations by George Cruikshank, John Leech and John Tenniel. Very handsomely bound in half red calf gilt, gilt decorations to compartments of spine. All edges of pages gilt. Gorgeously marbled endpapers. Some rubbing to extremities, boards slightly marked, ownership inscriptions, occasional light foxing otherwise a clean, sound and attractive copy. As a priest of the Chapel Royal, with a private income, Barham was not troubled with strenuous duties and he had ample time to read and compose stories. Although based on real legends and mythology, chiefly Kentish, such as the "hand of glory", they are mostly deliberately humorous parodies or pastiches of medieval folklore and poetry.
