| Summary |
"This is a folk tale from the Isle of Man, and because the island is as ringed with magic as it is by the sea, it is a fairy tale. In this story you will meet the Foawr, the clumsy giant, and the Fenoderee, the well-meaning sprite. Then there are the quarelsome Old Women, chuckling over their wicked spells, and the mischievous Little Fellows. As this is a folk tale some of the speech is in the Manx dialect, which is not the same as the way people speak in London, in Cardiff or in Glasgow. But when once you begin to read about the strange adventures of Bride and Ewan on the Isle of Man, the dialect should not worry you ..." opposite title page |
