""From King Orry to Queen Victoria: A Short and Concise History of the Isle of Man"" is a book written by Edward Callow that provides a comprehensive overview of the history of the Isle of Man. The book covers the period from the legendary King Orry, who is said to have founded the kingdom of Mann and the Isles in the 9th century, to the reign of Queen Victoria in the 19th century. The book is organized chronologically, with each chapter focusing on a specific period in the island's history. Callow provides a detailed account of the political, social, and cultural developments that took place during each era, as well as the key figures and events that shaped the island's history. The book also explores the Isle of Man's unique position as a self-governing crown dependency, with its own parliament (Tynwald) and legal system. Callow examines the ways in which the island's political and cultural identity have been shaped by its relationship with the British Crown and its proximity to Ireland and Scotland. Overall, ""From King Orry to Queen Victoria"" is a concise and accessible introduction to the history of the Isle of Man, suitable for both general readers and students of history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
