The "Folklore" article was Lady Raglan's sole foray into folklore study, and it is clearly much influenced by Sir James Frazier's seminal 1922 book on mythology, religion and folklore, "The Golden Bough". The article concluded: "This figure I am convinced, is neither a figment of the imagination nor a symbol, but is taken from real life, and the question is whether there was any figure in real life from which it could have been taken. The answer, I think, is that there is but one of sufficient importance, the figure variously known as the Green Man, Jack-in-the-Green, Robin Hood, the King of May and the Garland King, who is the central figure in the May Day celebrations throughout Northern and Central Europe."
