Selkies House in Gaelic | Taigh Selkies ann an Gàidhlig
Selkies House is thrilled to celebrate its second year with the launch of Taigh Selkies ann an Gàidhlig,

We begin with the publication of two books by the world’s best-loved children’s author, Tove Jansson,
whose Moomin characters are adored by children and adults alike.
Each first edition in a new language becomes a collector’s item and Scottish Gaelic is the most recent addition to the family.
“Tove Jansson is one of the greatest children’s writers there has ever been”— Sir Terry Pratchett
