THOMAS INGOLDSBY, was See also:born at See also:Canterbury on the 6th of See also:December 1788. At seven years of See also:age he lost his See also:father, who See also:left him a small See also:estate, See also:part of which was the See also:manor of Tappington, so frequently mentioned in the Legends. At nine he was sent to St See also:Paul's school, but his studies were interrupted by an See also:accident which shattered his See also:arm and partially crippled it for See also:life. Thus deprived of the See also:power of bodily activity, he became a See also:great reader and diligent student. In 1807 he entered Brasenose See also:College, See also:- OXFORD

In 1813 he was ordained and took a See also:country curacy; he married in the following See also:year, and in 1821 removed to See also:London on obtaining the See also:appointment of See also:minor See also:canon of St Paul's See also:cathedral. Three years later he became one of the priests in See also:ordinary of the See also:- KING

In 1826 he first contributed to See also:Blackwood's See also:Magazine; and on the See also:establishment of See also:Bentley's See also:Miscellany in 1837 he began to furnish the See also:series of See also:grotesque metrical tales known as The Ingoldsby Legends. These became very popular, were published in a collected See also:form and have since passed through numerous See also:editions In variety and whimsicality of rhymes these verses have hardly a See also:rival since the days of Hudibras. But beneath this obvious popular quality there lies a See also:store of solid antiquarian learning, the See also:fruit of patient enthusiastic See also:research, in out-of-the-way old books, which few readers who laugh over his pages detect. His life was See also:grave, dignified and highly honoured. His See also:sound See also:judgment and his See also:kind See also:heart made him the trusted counsellor, the valued friend and the frequent peacemaker; and he was intolerant of all that was mean and See also:base and false.

He died in London after a See also:long, painful illness, on the 17th of See also:June
