Historia

This early work Arthur Robinson Wright was originally published in the early 20th century and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. Arthur Robinson Wright was born in the United Kingdom in 1863. In 1885 he began his career as a civil servant, working in the Patent Office. Wright enjoyed a long and successful career here, being promoted to Assistant-Comptroller of Patents in 1922 and finally retiring from the service in 1927. Aside from his official work as a civil servant, Wright was a voracious reader of folklore, and also wrote widely on the subject. Wright also amassed a huge personal library of books and newspaper cuttings during his lifetime. His collection of over five thousand books was donated to the Folklore Society after his death.
