On Christmas Day of 1909, American scholar W Y Evans Wentz has been out to Glen Maye to collect stories, and has now walked back into Peel to the house of William Cashen, who tells him more for what became Evans Wentz's 1911 publication, 'The Fairy-Faith in the Celtic Countries'.

After hearing from Mina Harker under hypnosis that Count Dracula is emerging from his box of Transylvanian soil, the friends are anxious to reach the port of Galatz, where the Count is attempting to stay clear of opposition and make for his home. Another episode in the Manx translation of the story by Bram Stoker.

It's Christmas Day 1909, but American scholar, W Y Evans Wentz, is still out visiting people in Glen Maye and Peel to hear stories which he retold in 'The Fairy-Faith in the Celtic Countries', which he published in 1911.

In our Manx translation of Dracula by Bram Stoker, Mina Harker has understood something of the character of Count Dracula, from some of the things the Count had told her husband, Jonathan, when he was visiting the Count in Castle Dracula - seemingly unimportant at the time, but actually an unguarded insight into the way he thinks and operates.

We rejoin W Y Evans Wentz in Ballasalla where he hears more stories about what he calls 'fairies', though Sophia Morrison points out that the Manx people had lots of names for them, but that 'fairies' was not used. Evans Wentz visited the Island in 1909 to take evidence for his book, 'The Fairy-Faith in the Celtic Countries', which was published in 1911.

In our Manx translation of Dracula by Bram Stoker, Professor Van Helsing and Dr John Seward are talking about Mina Harker, who has just gone to get some information her husband, Jonathan, had written about his time in Castle Dracula. When she brings it to him, he talks to them about how it seems unwittingly to be a useful clue for them.

American scholar W Y Evans Wentz visited the Island in 1909 when Sophia Morrison took him to meet people from whom he took evidence for his PhD thesis which he published in 1911 as 'The Fairy-Faith in the Celtic Countries'. We join him on his collecting trip.

Our party of friends have been intent on boarding a ship as soon as it arrives in Varna on the Black Sea so that they can arrange to destroy Count Dracula. But they still await the ship's arrival - shouldn't it be here by now? More from our translation into Manx of Bram Stoker's renowned story.

We come to the end of Sophia Morrison's Introduction to the section of W Y Evans Wentz's 1911 publication, 'The Fairy-Faith in the Celtic Countries', dealing specifically with the Isle of Man, and we hear what he wrote down of whom he met and what they told him when he visited the Island in 1909.

Our band of friends are talking about what will need to be done when the boat carrying the box of earth in which Count Dracula is travelling arrives in Varna. Lord Godalming uses his influence which they hope will give them access to the box so that they can destroy the Count. But first they have to wait . . . and wait.

American scholar, W Y Evans Wentz, published 'The Fairy-Faith in the Celtic Countries' in 1911. Information from the Island was supplied by Sophia Morrison, and we find out what she sent to him, writing in September 1910.

Mina Harker explains why she wants her husband, Jonathan, to be willing to swear to end her life and to go on to take the gruesome steps necessary to protect her immortal soul, should she go on to become a creature of Count Dracula.

This is the penultimate of Dorothy Manley's short stories under the title, Fairy's Ground, and we also move on to the opening of the final story.

In our episode from Bram Stoker's Dracula in a translation into Manx, Professor Van Helsing is bracing himself to tell Mina Harker that she must no longer be in on the friends' discussions, though he doesn't want to say why. However, Mina seems to be aware of the difficulty herself and keeps herself away from their meeting, and afterwards is in such good spirits that she gives them all new heart.

Dorothy Manley has introduced us to Isaiah Cregeen, one of the seven Cregeen siblings. Isaiah is a Methodist preacher, and his wife is very proud to take her place in chapel on a Sunday. However, she doesn't welcome the presence of the youngest of the brothers, Martin - known to all as Fairy, and who gives his name to the collection of short stories, 'Fairy's Ground'.

Professor Van Helsing and Dr John Seward share a concern that Count Dracula will be able to know, from his connection with Mina Harker's mind, whatever she knows - including anything she's told or finds out about the friends' intention to hunt down and destroy the Count. Part of our Manx translation of the famous novel by Bram Stoker.
