story of Mary Jones and her Bible. This story is an account of a girl from Llanfihangel-y-Pennant at the foot of the mountain who walked 25 miles to Bala in order to buy a bible, which were scarce at the time. Jones' determined journey to get hold of a copy of the book in 1800 was a major factor behind the foundation of the British and Foreign Bible Society in 1804. "Tongues of fire on Idris flaring" is mentioned in the opening verse of the John Guard version of the song "Men of Harlech". In Cassandra Clare's Clockwork Princess Idris is where final battle between the protagonists and antagonist takes place.
