Is Finlo just dreaming or are there really fairies loose in the Dhoon Glen? Who are the Fairy Kings and the Mooinjer Veggey? Join Finlo on a Manx adventure with a sprinkling of fairy dust, Manx Gaelic, traditional music and a few local songs in Manx and English. Follow his father – the Right Honourable Mr Cowin – along with a couple of ghosts and the Little People as they battle to save the magical glen from the destructive plans of the Right Honourable Mr Pratt, a cliff full of seagulls and a squadron of ruthless R-A-Ts.
