Tales, not facts: every tale is retold in our own words from Sophia Morrison’s Manx Fairy Tales (1911, public domain) and clearly labelled as a tale or belief, not history. Real-world facts (dates, customs and places) were checked on 26 October 2026 against Manx National Heritage, Manx Music (Culture Vannin) and manx.folklore.im, and every source is listed on the credits page. All drawings are REALLYBYTE’s own artwork; no copyrighted pictures are used.

Licence: personal and single-classroom use. You may print as many copies as you need for your own family or your own class, and share it with your class through a password-protected platform. Please don’t resell, re-upload or share it publicly. For school-wide use, please email info@reallybyte.com.
