Dissolute Hounds Liqueur Pack Priest Stranger Myth Quips Whisks
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, titled 'A Stranger Whisks Away the Dissolute Priest, Dando,' depicts a pivotal moment in the intriguing legend of Dando, the Priest of Dandos Dogs, as recorded in English folklore. The scene unfolds in the dimly lit tavern, where Father Dando, a man known for his excessive indulgence in liqueur, makes a flippant remark about galloping to Hell for more. Seizing the opportunity, a mysterious stranger steps in and whispers an offer that the priest cannot resist. With a mischievous grin, Dando accepts the offer, and the stranger leads him away, leaving his loyal pack of hounds behind. The hounds, a distinctive feature of this myth, are said to roam the English countryside at night, their eerie howls echoing through the forests and valleys. According to local folklore, these hounds were once part of the priest's entourage, but their master's dissolute ways led him to abandon them. As a result, the hounds were left to wander, their haunting cries serving as a reminder of their former master's folly. This historical photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich tapestry of English folklore and the intriguing tale of Father Dando and his enigmatic hounds. The image, with its atmospheric lighting and intriguing narrative, transports us back in time, inviting us to ponder the mysteries of the past and the enduring power of legend.
