£12.95
by Sara Goodwins Available from 10 March 2017, this revised edition has been updated with new text and new photos and provides an excellent summary of Manx history.
With parliamentary traditions introduced by Vikings, the Isle of Man was the first country to give women the vote. Much of its public transport hasn’t changed since Victoria was on the throne, yet the island is fifth in the space race. Famed for its motorbike racing and tailless cats, it’s still traditional to greet the little people when crossing Fairy Bridge.
In the middle of the Irish Sea, and the centre of westbound sea trade, Mann has been drawn into the politics of the surrounding islands, yet maintains its own traditions, language and way of life.
It is this proud history of the Manx and their island which this book celebrates.
This volume reprints the classic work originally published in 1656 with the introduction and comprehensive notes of Rev. J. G. Cummings added in the version reprinted by Thee Manx Society in 1864. It is regarded as the oldest written history of the Isle of Man. It offered readers then, as it still does now, a unique view of Island life covering the history, customs and folklore of the inhabitants, a look at the government, laws and trade and many of the things which still make the Isle of Man unique today.
James Chaloner was one of the commissioners under Lord Fairfax for settling the affairs of the Isle of Man in 1652, and afterwards he was Governor of the Island between 1658 and 1660.
