Biographical History

Thomas Crofton Croker was an Irish antiquary who devoted most of his life to collecting ancient Irish poetry and Irish folklore. In England in 1828 he founded the Society of Noviomagus with a small circle of like-minded friends.

From the guide to the T. Crofton Croker Collection, 1827-1925, (Princeton University. Library. Dept. of Rare Books and Special Collections)

Thomas Crofton Croker was born in County Cork, and worked as a clerk in the British Admiralty for some forty years. He is well remembered today for being one of the first to collect and publish Irish folktales. His first book of tales was quite popular, and was translated into German by the Brothers Grimm.
