Summary "Manx Fairy Tales" by Sophia Morrison is a collection of folk stories written in the early 20th century. The tales originate from the Isle of Man and delve into the rich Manx folklore, exploring the lives and adventures of both the Little People, often referred to as "Themselves," and other supernatural beings like the Fynoderee and the Buggane. The stories encompass various themes, including trickery, moral lessons, and human interactions with the mysterious elements of nature and the fairy world. At the start of the collection, Morrison introduces readers to the Little People of the Isle of Man, describing them as mischievous but not purely malevolent. The opening story depicts a man who encounters one of these Little Fellows, which leads him on a journey that ultimately results in his fortune. This introduces the fantastical elements of the tales, while also establishing a recurring theme of human curiosity juxtaposed with the unpredictable nature of the fairy realm. The opening also hints at a variety of characters and creatures one can expect to meet throughout the tales, fostering a sense of intrigue and wonder. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
