The Manx Language Development Officer, for Culture Vannin, Adrian Cain commented that 'that at Culture Vannin we are constantly looking for new and innovative ways to develop resources for Manx speakers and learners and given the success of the first ebook it's been great to work with Giglets on a second'. Given the Island of Culture celebrations this year it's an appropriate time to bring out a Manx version of such as classic publication and we hope to produce some more exciting material in Manx over the next few months'
