A collection of myths, legends, ghost stories, and poems first published serially beginning in 1837. Written under a pseudonym by English clergyman Richard Harris Barham, these tales blend Kentish folklore with humor and parody. The collection features memorable stories like "The Jackdaw of Rheims," about a thieving bird made saint, and "Grey Dolphin," where a horse's skull fulfills a deadly prophecy.
