Roald Dahl took great delight in shocking and surprising his young readers and remains as popular as ever. This first ever translation of Revolting Rhymes into Scots is an exciting addition to the growing number of high quality books available to children and young people to read in the wonderfully rich and expressive Scots tongue.

Roald Dahl
Dahl gifted readers some of literature's most abiding and wonderful characters,from the lovable dream-whispering,word-mangling giant,the BFG,to magical Matilda,chocolate-maker extraordinaire Willy Wonka and many more. Endlessly inventive and laugh-out- loud funny,Dahl's stories reinvent the world for every new generation. They are rightly ranked among the greatest classics of children's fiction,stories that celebrate kindness,bravery and hope. Oh and whizzpopping.
