Claare Ny Gael - Manx Radio

Having started with J B Keig's nicknames in Ballaugh, we've moved on to A W Moore's thoughts on nicknames throughout the Island. As we find out, that work from 1890 was the framework for what J J Kneen had to say about nicknames in his book from 1937.

In our translation of Bram Stoker's Dracula into the Manx Gaelic, Professor Van Helsing has been given short shrift by the patient, Mr Renfield, and so goes instead to talk to Mina Harker. However, we hear from her diary that she's putting on a brave face whilst strangely affected in some way.
