TOWARDS the close of the seventies I began to collect Welsh folklore. I did so partly because others had set the example elsewhere, and partly in order to see whether Wales could boast of any story-tellers of the kind that delight the readers of Campbell'sPopular Tales of the West Highlands. I soon found what I was not wholly unprepared for, that as a rule I could not get a single story of any length from the mouths of any of my fellow countrymen, but a considerable number of bits of stories. In some instances these were so scrappy that it took me years to discover how to fit them into their proper context; but, speaking generally, I may say, that, as the materials, such as they were, accumulated, my initial difficulties disappeared. I was, however, always a little afraid of refreshing my memory with the legends of other lands lest I should read into those of my own, ideas possibly foreign to them. While one is busy collecting, it is safest probably not to be too much engaged in comparison: when the work of collecting is done that of comparing may begin. But. after all I have not attempted to proceed very far in that direction, only just far enough to find elucidation here and there for the meaning of items of folklore brought under my notice. To have gone further would have involved me in excursions hopelessly beyond the limits of my undertaking, for comparative folklore has lately assumed such dimensions, that it seems best to leave it to those who make it their special study.

MANX FAIRY TALES - 45 Children's Stories from the Isle of Mann by Anon E. Mouse Pdf
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..
