Freaks and Follies of Fabledom: A Little Lempriere is a book written by E. L. Blanchard and published in 1852. The book is a collection of stories and anecdotes about mythical creatures and legendary beings from various cultures and traditions. It is a whimsical and entertaining look at the world of fables and folklore, featuring stories about dragons, mermaids, unicorns, and other fantastical creatures. The title of the book is a reference to John Lempriere, an English classical scholar who wrote a popular dictionary of classical mythology. Blanchard's book is a playful take on Lempriere's work, offering a similar collection of stories and legends, but with a more lighthearted and humorous tone. The book is divided into chapters, each focusing on a different theme or type of creature. For example, one chapter is dedicated to stories about giants, while another explores the myths surrounding fairies and goblins. The stories are presented in a lively and engaging style, with a touch of wit and humor that makes them accessible to readers of all ages. Overall, Freaks and Follies of Fabledom: A Little Lempriere is a charming and entertaining book that offers a delightful glimpse into the world of mythology and folklore. It is a must-read for anyone who loves stories of magic, wonder, and adventure.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
