Summary: "The Little Manx Nation" by Hall Caine is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the identity, history, and culture of the Isle of Man, delving into the tales of its kings, bishops, and people. It is presented in the form of lectures delivered at the Royal Institution, filled with rich anecdotes and reflections that reveal the soul of this small island nation.
