The Story of the Isle of Man The Story of the Isle of Man The Story of the Isle of Man is a 1901 book on the history of the Isle of Man by A.W. Moore. It was written as an introduction to Manx history, specifically for children. The book was written at a time of a growing sense of Manx national identity, greatly due to the work of A. W. Moore himself. For want of any existing rigorous and sustained history of the Isle of Man, he wrote "A History of the Isle of Man", which was published in 1900 in two volumes (reaching 989 pages).
