Charles Godfrey Leland a Biography

1906. Volume 1 of 2. With illustrations. A study of Leland primarily based on his memoirs. Chiefly known as the author of Hans Breitmann's Ballads, Charles Godfrey Leland had not only a rich vein of humor, but was a scholar of wide cultivation and actively identified with movements to further the knowledge of the arts on the part of the people. In his early youth he practiced law, but his literary interests drew him into other channels, and in 1869 he took up his residence in London and gave himself chiefly to the study of folklore.
