We hear Jack Gell as he reads out another extract from the paraphrase in Manx of Paradise Lost for us in 'Traa dy Liooar'.

The book Skeealaght was published by Yn Cheshaght Ghailckagh (The Manx Language Society) in the year 1976, and there were several stories written for it by Colin Jerry. Phil Gawne read out one of them, Corkish, in 'Goll as Gaccan'.

Sean O Bradaigh made a translation of a story from Mannin written in English by Dora Broome, The Merman's coat. In 'Claare ny Gael' we hear a version of that in the Manx Gaelic, Cooat yn Dooinney Marrey, noting the version in Irish as well as the story in the English language.
