will see an auspicious alignment of anniversaries. J. K. Rowling's debut
novel Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone has already been
translated into a staggering 79 languages--Itchy Coo's Scots translation
will be language number 80. Since 2002, the Itchy Coo imprint has been
wowing young readers and challenging old attitudes with bold new
translations of books by Roald Dahl, Julia Donaldson, David Walliams,
Alexander McCall Smith, A.A. Milne, Asterix and others--and done it all
in the wonderful Scots language which has the power to engage, excite
and entertain readers of all ages. Matthew Fitt's translation of J.K.
Rowling's phenomenal adventure story will break new ground and earn a
place in hearts of young Scots readers and Harry Potter fans alike.
