A new children's book about the Great Laxey Mine Railway has been published, thanks to funding from the Manx Lottery Trust.
'The Lil' People and the Magic Tunnel' has been written and illustrated by Edith Quaggin and is the final part of a trilogy which has raised thousands of pounds for the railway.
Each of the books has also been translated into Manx by Culture Vannin.
Following the £1,700 grant, the book is now on sale in bookshops and heritage shops around the Island.
