Richard Stanton Lambert (25 August 1894 – 27 November 1981) was a biographer, popular historian and broadcaster.

His books mainly concern history and biography but he also wrote about crime, travel, art, radio, film and propaganda.

However, he found part-time work at Sheffield University teaching economics and history to extramural groups of Yorkshire miners and railwaymen.

They established The Stanton Press together in 1921, producing fine, hand-printed volumes of poetry and translation.

Under Lambert's editorship notable contributors to The Listener included members of the Bloomsbury Group Paul Nash, Roger Fry and Clive Bell.

Always a prolific author, he continued to write books in his retirement about the history of Canada and Canadian folklore and legend.

Lambert accompanied his friend, paranormal investigator Harry Price and together they wrote the book.
