From the Calf, William Gell's attention switches to the Chickens in his 1906 poetic tour of the Island, Mannin Veg Veen. Going round to Port Erin, we look at William Milner's association with it, including the tower on Bradda Head. Though Gell doesn't mention him, we also look at Arnold Bennett, who set a chapter of his 1902 novel, Anna of the Five Towns, in Port Erin, and that was by no means the only work of his set in the village.

In a translation into Manx, we're looking at the rather odd tales of the Brothers Grimm, and a disgruntled discharged soldier has collected a motley crew of five people with extraordinary gifts. A king has offered his daughter in marriage to anyone who can beat her in a race, and our ex-soldier puts up one of the band - but if he loses, they both lose their heads!
