The Fairy Bridge on the Isle of Man is a famous location. Locals and visitors always say 'Hello Fairies' as they pass by. It is good luck to do so. If you don't acknowledge the 'little people' there are stories of bad things happening such as a flat tyre or the breakdown of your car, you may lose your keys, fall over, miss your flight at the nearby Airport or be left behind by the ferry, the only ways to leave our Isle! There are numerous other stories told over the years. T.T. Motorcycle fans always visit during the annual races held in June. They leave fairy letters for their loved ones and hang gifts on the trees for the little folk. The bike racers themselves are known to take a moment at the Fairy Bridge to ask the fairies to look after them as they whizz round the island at 180mph! The little people or mooinjerveggey (Manx Gaelic) as they are known, are an integral part of the local myth and legend. The power of believing is held in high regard on this mystical island.

The Saga of Nova Septima, the first installment of a new trilogy by Linda Williams, follows in the footsteps of many great classics of the fantasy genre.

In that sense the world of fantasy is the world of myth still among us, updated by centuries of narrative tradition and the marvels of modern science. George Bernard Shaw, a great playwright of the last century, once suggested that immature artists are those who are merely influenced by their predecessors, whereas it is the sure mark of the mature artist to be able to selectively steal from the riches of the past. Linda Williams is a great literary artist of this century who aptly balances novelty with tradition in creating a story that will delight both the young and the young at heart alike. Join Asha and her band of young companions, which also includes a delightful dog named Nog and a marvelous mule named Heggo, as they make their way from their home in Teletsos to a far off land in the north. This is where salvation lies, both for themselves and their world. On their way to their ultimate destination they encounter many marvels and must overcome many hardships. Their battle however is more than just an epic struggle between Davidic youth and goodness and the ancient evil of a Goliath who would prey upon all weakness in its unrelenting pursuit of power. As in all good fantasy stories victory must be accompanied by mastery over the self within as well as the enemy without. Through all sorts of fa
