Publication in Scots is timed to coincide with the selection of 'Matilda' as Roald Dahl Book of the Year 2019. This richly expressive translation of 'Matilda' into Scots by prize-winning Glaswegian author, Anne Donovan, is a landmark new addition to the Itchy Coo collection of Roald Dahl translations. Matilda is the world's most famous bookworm, no thanks to her ghastly parents. Her father thinks she's a little scab. Her mother spends all afternoon playing bingo. And her headmistress, Miss Trunchbull? She's the worst of all. She's a big bully, who thinks all her pupils are rotten and locks them in the dreaded Chokey.
