THERE is at least one spot in the world where Fairies are still believed in, and where, if you look in the right places, they may still be found, and that is the little island from which these stories come Elian Vannin, or the Isle of Mann. But they are never called Fairies by the Manx, instead they are called the Little People. These Little People are not the tiny creatures with wings who flutter about in many European Fairy tales, but they are small persons from two to three feet in height, much like Ireland’s leprechauns – and why not? Ireland is but a ferry-ride away across the Irish Sea. Herein are 45 fairy and folk tales about the other-worldly, Little People of the Isle of Mann. The stories in this volume are: Themselves The Buggane Of Glen Meay Waterfall How The Manx Cat Lost Her Tail The Making Of Mann The Coming Of Saint Patrick How The Herring Became King Of The Sea The Silver Cup The Child Without A Name The Fairy Doctor Joe Moore’s Story Of Finn Maccooilley And The Buggane The Fynoderee – An Old Song The Fynoderee Of Gordon The Lhondoo And The Ushag-Reaisht Billy Beg, Tom Beg, And The Fairies The Lazy Wife The Mermaid Of Gob Ny Ooyl The Lost Wife Of Ballaleece Smereree Kebeg The Fairy Child Of Close Ny Lheiy The Little Footprints The Tall Man Of Ballacurry Ned Quayle’s Story Of The Fairy Pig Scene: A Village Kitterland Teeval, Princess Of The Ocean The Wizard’s Palace The Enchanted Isle Three Stories About Birds The Moddey Doo Or The Black Dog Of Peel Castle Little Red Bird Tehi Tegi John-Y-Chiarn’s Journey A Bad Wish The Witch Of Slieu Whallian The Old Christmas The Buggane Of St. Trinian’s King Magnus Barefoot Manannan Mac Y Leirr The Cormorant And The Bat Caillagh-Ny-Faashagh, Or The Prophet Wizard The City Under Sea An Ancient Charm Against The Fairies It is said the little people of Mann wear red caps and green jackets and are very fond of hunting indeed they are most often seen on horseback followed by packs of little hounds of all the colours of the rainbow. They are rather inclined to be mischievous, and sometimes spiteful, and that is why they are called by such good names, in case they should be listening! If you look hard enough, you may also find the Fynoderees and the Bugganeswho are totally different to the Little People.. So download this eBook and sit back with a steaming hot beverage and be prepared to be entertained for hours.

Far away in the Irish sea lies the smallest island nation in the world, the Isle of Man, where the cats have no tails and the coat of arms has three legs. Here the quiet places in the glens abound with fairies, or little people or little fellows, as they prefer to be called. In their red caps and their green jackets you can see them riding to the hunt followed by many tiny barking dogs in all colours of the rainbow; that is, if you are in the right spot at the right time and you know the right password!

This two-volume work, published in 1901, had its beginnings in the late 1870s, when Rhys began collecting Welsh folk tales. His entertaining preface sheds light on folklore fieldwork and its difficulties, including fragmentary evidence, alteration of stories by those interviewed, and the hostility of the religious and educational establishment to 'superstition'. For each text, Rhys provides fascinating information about his sources, and an English translation. He analyses possible origins for the tales, in imagination and myth, and in early British history, and compares them with legends from elsewhere in the British Isles.
