Kathleen Faragher (1904–1974) was the most significant and prolific Manx dialect author of the mid twentieth century. She is best known for her poems first published in the ''Ramsey Courier'' and collected into five books published between 1955 and 1967. She was also a prolific short story writer and playwright. Her work is renowned for its humour born of a keen observation of Manx characters, and for its evocative portrayal of the Isle of Man and its people. ==Life== Kathleen Faragher was born in 1904 in Ramsey, Isle of Man, to Joseph and Catherine Anne Faragher, owners of a grocer and provision merchant business on Approach Road.〔'Death of Mrs Jos. Faragher' in ''Ramsey Courier'', 29 April 1932〕 Kathleen was the youngest of five children: Laurence (who died in Gibraltar in 1944 during WWII),〔'Naval Officer Dies at Gibraltar' in ''Ramsey Courier'', 20 October 1944〕 Fred (later manager of Martin's Bank, Peel),〔'Sudden Death of Mr J. C. Faragher' in ''Ramsey Courier'', 8 March 1946〕 Joseph (who took over the family business but died in 1946),〔 Evelyn (who emigrated to Auckland, New Zealand, where she died in 1949)〔'Sister of Mr F. C. Faragher Dies in Australia' in ''Ramsey Courier'', 11 November 1949〕 and herself. Kathleen Faragher was raised in Ramsey until about 1924, when she moved to London to take up a business career.〔William Radcliffe and Constance Radcliffe, ''A History of Kirk Maughold'', Manx Museum and National Trust: Douglas, 1979, p. 326 – 327〕 After 25 years working in London, ill-health forced her into early retirement, whereupon she returned to live on the Isle of Man in October 1949.〔('Fenella Meets a Poetess' ) in ''Isle of Man Daily Times'', 1 December 1959 (available through the Manx National Heritage's (iMuseum ))〕 Faragher lived first in Ramsey but eventually moved to Maughold, finally coming to live near to the Dhoon Church in Glen Mona.
