The Magic Tunnel by Edith Quaggin

The Magic Tunnel: A story about the two small steam engines in Laxey

This delightful children’s book is written in Manx Gaelic with English translation by local author and Great Laxey Mine Railway volunteer, Edith Quaggin.

The story tells the tale of Ant and Bee, two replica steam engines at the Great Laxey Mine Railway, who play around in their shed one night and end up travelling back in time through the magic tunnel (the present-day tunnel still used by the Railway).

Suitable for children aged 5 – 8, this book brings the tales of the railway to life and is colourfully illustrated throughout.
