David Robertson tells us the exciting tale of Ivar and Matilda, and the dastardly King Reginald, though the death of Reginald at Ivar's hand is not quite as told in the Chronicle of the Kings of Man and the Isles, which we dip into in a translation by Professor P A Munch. In this episode from Bram Stoker's Dracula, translated into the Manx Gaelic,  we hear more about the wolf, Bersicker, as told to animal keeper, Thomas Bilder, to the reporter from the Pall Mall Gazette. The story is far tamer than the one revealed in Dr John Seward's diary, as his patient, Renshaw, comes into his study.
