Voyage of discovery for young writers

Young Island authors have gone on a voyage of discovery. 

Students aged 21 and under in full-time education were invited to pen a short story, a memoir, or the opening chapter of a novel on the subject of 'discovery'.

And the story tellers produced a number of winning and highly commended authors in the process.

Education and Children Minister Tim Crookall said the competition boosted literacy in the classroom and allowed the imaginations of children to roam free - with joyous results.

The competition - named after the distinguished Manx novelist Sir Hall Caine - attracted 933 entries with his great-granddaughter Gloria Rukeyser presenting the prizes.

Her family still occupies the novelist's former home, the historic Greeba Castle.
