St John Drelincourt Seymour fu un ecclesiastico della Chiesa d'Irlanda i cui scritti si addentrarono nella storia, nel folclore e nel soprannaturale irlandese. Il suo lavoro esplorò gli aspetti misteriosi e folkloristici dell'isola, immergendosi nel ricco patrimonio culturale dell'Irlanda. Seymour offrì una prospettiva unica sulle tradizioni e le leggende irlandesi. I suoi scritti illuminano le sfaccettature meno conosciute della vita e della storia irlandesi.
