What is A Brief History Of The Isle Of Man about?
The last abbey to be dissolved by Henry VIII, the last castle to fall during the Civil War, and the site of the first holiday camp - all can be found on the Isle of Man. And the world's most famous motorbike road race takes place on an island where it is traditional to greet the fairies when crossing their bridge. Mann is ab island of contrasts. It has a social structure which harks directly back to the island's Viking past, a history of offering a home to financial entrepreneurs (well, what else would you call smugglers?) and an island-wide advanced telecommunications system designed to encourage future business investment. Centred in the Irish Sea, Mann has been drawn into the politics of the surrounding islands yet still maintains its own traditions, language and way of life. It is the long and proud history of the Manx and their island which this book celebrates.
