Description

An extensively researched biography of a great Victorian writer.

Sabine Baring-Gould was a man of many talents, author of 130 novels and many hundreds of stories and articles.

Well-known in Devon, her was a 'squarson' (squire and parson in one), living in a large rectory with his wife and fourteen children.

He wrote hymns (including 'Onward Christian Soldiers') and had an insatiable interest in folklore, history, geology and music.

He spoke several languages and travelled extensively in Europe.

He died just before his 90th birthday, in 1924, leaving a rich legacy which has almost been forgotten today.

The book is based on personal papers, the stories and novels, as well as reminiscences and other non-fiction works.

He wrote about werewolves, ghosts, Icelandic warriors and Devon legends.

He could be fiercely satirical and gently humorous. His greatest love was of Dartmoor - and his adored wife, Grace.

Her story is also told in detail here.
