We hear the Forward added to a small booklet in 1940 by two fine Manx speakers, Chalse y Craine and Markys y Braide, and then we hear the Preface by Mr J B Keig to his original 1933 publication of 'Ballaugh Nick Names', but the nick names take us back to the 1860s.

Professor Van Helsing has returned from Amsterdam and now intends to devote time to tracking down and destroying Count Dracula. However, he thinks this is no work for a woman - although Mina Harker has been at the centre of things and has helped enormously in collating all their information. Another episode from Bram Stoker's 'Dracula'.
