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, a new list dedicated to literature in Scottish Gaelic.
We begin with the publication of two books by one of the world’s best loved children’s authors, Tove Jansson, whose Moomin characters are adored by children and adults alike.
Each first edition in a new language is a collector’s item and Scottish Gaelic becomes the most recent addition to the family.
