Description: Have you ever heard of Sabine Baring-Gould? Besides being the author of the famous hymn "Onward Christian Soldiers", as well as scores of folk songs, essays, articles, and over 200 books, Gould was at one time the most prolific English author alive! Selected from his well-received collection of essays Curious Myths, here are the best of the best, edited with a very light touch in order to preserve the sometimes outlandish opinions and occasionally odd punctuation. An avid collector of rare and unusual information, and known for his linguistic ability and strange habit of insisting upon writing everything in longhand while standing at a lectern, he loved to delve deep into the odd comers of the world. This collection of myths will have you delving deeper too.
