...de Isle of Man Today:
This June marks the centenary of the death of Manx language writer and poet Ned Beg Hom Ruy, also known as Edward Faragher…
…Charles Roeder, a German folklorist and personal friend of Ned Beg, described him as a 'a true type of the Manninagh Dooie' meaning a great Manxman.
Ned Beg's death in 1908 was a great loss for the Manx language, but he left an important legacy in his written work of poems, stories and personal reminiscences of the Cregneash he had known as a boy.
It was only after his death that the real value and contribution of Ned Beg's work to preserve Manx culture came to be fully appreciated…
