1846 Esoteric Ingoldsby Legends Occult Tenniel Leech Cruikshank Illustrated ART

“ABRACADABRA!”

A beautiful and attractive printing of the famous “Ingoldsby Legends”. This collection of myths, ghost stories, and poetry was written by R.H. Barham, who is better known by his penname, Thomas Ingoldsby. These legends were extremely popular from their inception in 1837 going through numerous editions for the next century! While this collection is less popular today than it was in the 19^th-century, it does include aspects that are still recognizable – the magic command “Abracadabra” and a version of the children’s song Bingo!

This 1846 edition is beautifully bound in three, fine leather tomes with illustrations by John Leech and George Cruikshank!
