Autor

Edward G. Flight was an author and poet, best known for his works that blend folklore and storytelling. His writings often focused on themes from legends, historical narratives, and popular superstitions. Although less widely known in contemporary literary circles, Flight's works remain an interesting example of 19th-century literature, particularly for their playful treatment of folklore and their accessibility to a broad audience. His works reflect the fascination with legends and myths prevalent during his time, particularly in the Victorian era, and showcase his ability to weave together whimsical stories with deeper cultural meanings. Flight s contributions to folklore-based narratives allowed readers to explore traditional stories in a light-hearted yet insightful manner. His work on "The True Legend of St. Dunstan and the Devil" is particularly notable for its instructive take on the origins of the horse-shoe as a charm against evil. His legacy, though not as prominent as some of his peers, remains significant in the context of Victorian popular literature and folklore.
