LibraryThing member tripleblessings
First published in 1837, under the pseudonym of Thomas Ingoldsby Esq., who was later discovered to be the English clergyman Richard Harris Barham. A whimsical series of poems and tales of ghosts, magic, and mysterious events, sometimes culminating in a pun or humourous twist ending.

Important to notice that Thomas Ingoldsby is NOT the author. He is a character in the book which was published under his name, the author concealing his own identity.
Fun, spectral themes. Playful, high-sounding language.
