Thomas Crofton Croker [1798-1854] was an Irish antiquary who was born in Cork and devoted himself largely to the collection of ancient Irish poetry and Irish folklore. He and his wife's testimonies about funereal customs, particularly the tradition of keening the deceased are among the earliest and most significant contributions to the understanding of the Irish language lament and the accompanying traditions. His work Fairy Legends and Traditions of the South of Ireland went to six editions, and was translated into German by the Brothers Grimm..jpg)
