关于作者

Sabine Baring-Gould (1834-1924) of Lew Trenchard in Devon, England, was an Anglican priest, hagiographer, antiquarian, novelist, folk song collector and eclectic scholar. His bibliography consists of more than 1240 publications, though this list continues to grow. One of his most important works is the 16 volume The Lives of the Saints. Baring-Gould organized the first scientific archaeological excavations of hut-circles on Dartmoor at Grimspound during 1893, and he wrote much about Dartmoor.
