James Kewley Ward was born at the foot of Castle Street in Peel, and gave money to build a public library there. The foundation stone was laid on 6th September 1906. There's more in a Manx version of Grimms' Fairy-tales and a melange of music from the Celtic countries.

With more from a Manx translation of Grimms' Fairy-tales, there's something of the history of the Snaefell Mine, up to its closure on 1st September 1908, and, of course, a range of music from throughout the Celtic countries.

As well as a range of music from the Celtic countries, there's a Manx translation of Grimms' Fairy-tales and the history of the aggressive warrior who became de facto King of Man and the Isles for some years, Magnus Barefoot, leading up to his death in Ulster on 23rd August 1103.

August was the month in which a tramway system came and went. The Upper Douglas Cable Tramway, opening in 1896 and closing in 1929. More from the Brothers Grimm in translation into Manx, plus music from around the Celtic countries.

Grimms' Fairy-tales can be strange, as we hear in our translation into Manx. Translation into Manx so that congregations could understand the Prayer Book and the Bible was an idea shared by three Bishops of Sodor and Man. And music from the Celtic nations.

The celebration of Laa Luanys, the first day of August, was a cause of concern to the Manx clergy - not so much carnival as carnal. One of Grimms' Fairy-tales in a Manx translation ends and another begins. There's also plenty of Celtic music and song to enjoy.

Midsummer day by the old style calendar was a fire festival in honour of Manannan, who, with his Island, is celebrated in song and music. More from Grimms' Fairy-tales in Manx, and a lax court case that should never have come to court - but it did, on 4th July 1866.
