The Reverend Sabine Baring-Gould (1834-1924) was an English hagiographer, antiquarian, novelist, and eclectic scholar whose literary endeavours reflected his manifold interests in folklore, theology, and history. Born into an affluent family, Baring-Gould followed a path that led him to Cambridge, where he graduated from Clare College. His pursuits were diverse, encompassing his clerical duties and his passion for folklore, resulting in an extensive corpus of writings that blend the supernatural with the scholarly.

Perhaps best known for his enduring hymn ‘Onward, Christian Soldiers, ‘ Baring-Gould’s literary style is characterized by its gothic sensibilities and rich narrative essence. His ‘The Book of Ghosts (Collected Horror Tales)’ is a testament to his fascination with the supernatural, offering a collection of tales which ride the boundaries between the eerie, the uncanny, and the divine. These stories reveal his deft ability to weave local folklore into chilling narratives that have engaged readers for over a century. A prolific author, Baring-Gould penned more than 1, 240 publications, including novels, collections of myths, and volumes of sermons, made possible by his extensive travels and deep immersion in the cultures and traditions of Europe. His work continues to escalate in stature within the gothic and folkloric literary landscapes, standing as a significant pillar in the canon of 19th-century British literature.
