description
William Kennish’s 1844 book is a very early collection of poetry from the Isle of Man and one of the Island’s most important poetry books. The amazing life of the explorer, inventor, engineer and poet, William Kennish, understandably overshadows his ‘Mona’s Isle,’ but the book is one of the most important and interesting publications in Manx literature: for readers, historians and students of folklore alike. The President of the Isle of Man Natural History and Antiquarian Society has said of ‘Mona’s Isle’ that: “It is a remarkable book in that it is the only record of Manx country life, work, play, customs and beliefs written by a Manx countryman about his own experiences.” The full text of this book is available from: www.manxliterature.com
