HOW THE MANX CAT LOST ITS TAIL
By
From the Isle of Man comes this collection of stories and legends collected and retold by Blanche Cowley Young. Rich in poetry,the tales of Man draw from a wide area of reference-- Gaelic, Old Testament, and New Testament characters range through a climate of raging elements, mist, and magic. A strong sense of island civilization permeates these stories, with the sea and its creatures often in the foreground and wisdom revealing itself here with the face of humor, there with a mask of awesome force.
