Charles Godfrey Leland (August 15, 1824 – March 20, 1903) was an American humorist, writer, and folklorist, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was educated at Princeton University, and later in Europe, where he studied languages and folklore. Leland worked in journalism, traveled extensively, and became an advocate for industrial education in art and a pioneer in the field of museum education. Preferring the society of the 'common folk,' he amassed a rich repository of ethnography and folklore material during his travels. His literary contributions cover a diverse range of subjects including humour, folklore, etymology, and language, not to mention a lifelong dedication to the collection and study of Gypsy culture. Of particular interest to craftsmen and artists was his 'A Manual of Wood Carving' (1891), a comprehensive guide richly illustrated with designs for practical instruction in the art of decorative wood carving. Emphasizing the importance of creativity and originality, Leland's manual remains a valuable resource for wood carvers. His written work is often characterized by the depth of cultural knowledge and a conversational, accessible style. Leland's contribution to folk literature and his enthusiastic collection of folklore has been important in preserving the traditions and customs of the various cultures he studied. His keen observation and empathetic representation of different social groups have cemented his legacy as an important figure in the realms of anthropology, folkloristics, and the arts and crafts movement of the late 19th century.
