There's more for us this time, with extracts from 'Traa dy Liooar' and 'Shiaght Laa' available. In 'Traa dy Liooar' we hear Jack Gell reading out part of the poem, Pargys Caillt (a Manx paraphrase of Paradise Lost). The Scottish author, Kenneth Grahame, is mentioned in 'Shiaght Laa', and we think about  things connected with an old proverb. David Fisher reads out two chapters of the account, The Voyage of Odin's Raven, by George Kneale in 'Goll as Gaccan', and Phil Gawne is looking at the book, First Lessons in Manx. We have a short story by Virginia Woolf in 'Claare ny Gael', but it's so short that we have an opportunity to hear three pieces of flash fiction by Sheila Elliott, Jenn Linning and Kate Fellowes.
