5.0 out of 5 stars
My favorite book.,
By Marc that book (Orange, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ingoldsby Legends ; or, Mirth and Marvels (Paperback)
If I were exiled to the moon and could only take one book, (no compendiums allowed) that would be The Ingoldsby Legends, Myths and Marvels, by Richard Harris Barham. I cannot praise this book enough. It is mainly poetry, with a few prose stories. I could spend many hours praising this book, and although I realize it would not suit many tastes it fits mine to a "T". Let me only say I have spent more hours reading and rereading this book than I can count. I never tire of it. This is the only book I have ever encountered that I could never reread enough. Every time I find some hidden jem it it I missed before. I have memorized huge passages of it for the times I can't actually have it at hand. There is just something about this book for me, that if I were in Fahrenheit 451 I would introduce myself as "I am The Ingoldsby Legends, Myths and Marvels."
