(John) The Ingoldsby Legends; or, Mirth and Marvels Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ingoldsby_Legends Matthias Grammel and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Ingoldsby Legends; or, Mirth and Marvels" by Thomas Ingoldsby is a collection of humorous and fantastical poems and tales written in the late 19th century. The work is well-known for its merging of folklore, supernatural themes, and wit, often focusing on the eccentricities of the English gentry and their antiquarian past. With a blend of comedy and macabre elements, the collection features a diverse cast of characters, from mischievous ghosts to charming ladies and valiant soldiers, drawing readers into a whimsical world of legends. The opening of the collection introduces us to the protagonist, Lieutenant Charles Seaforth, who is staying at the enigmatic manor of Tappington Everard. Seaforth experiences a series of peculiar events centering around the mysterious disappearance of his pantaloons, leading him to suspect supernatural involvement, specifically a ghostly ancestor connected to the manor's dark history. The humorous narrative unfolds with Seaforth's attempts to solve the mystery, while his cousin Caroline provides both companionship and intrigue, setting the stage for a blend of romance and supernatural antics that characterize Ingoldsby's unique storytelling style.
