Claare ny Gael 10th December 2023

We've started looking at A W Moore's 1890 publication, 'The Surnames and Place-Names of the Isle of Man' for its section on nicknames, taking up where we left off with our survey of the nicknames used in Ballaugh collected by J B Keig. In our episode from the translation into the Manx Gaelic of Bram Stoker's Dracula, we're hearing from Jonathan Harker's journal about the expedition to search Carfax, the house bought by Count Dracula in Essex, and where 50 boxes of Transylvanian soil arrived - one of them bearing the Count himself! But how many are left in the house?
