Manx Fairy Tales

Published in 1911, 'Manx Fairy Tales' by Sophia Morrison is a collection of folk stories from the Isle of Man that explores the region's rich folklore. The tales feature the Little People, known as 'Themselves,' and other supernatural beings, such as the Fynoderee and the Buggane, highlighting themes of trickery, moral lessons, and human interactions with nature and the fairy world. Morrison, a key figure in the Manx cultural revival, aimed to preserve and promote Manx heritage through these narratives, which reflect the unique characteristics of the Isle of Man's folklore.
