Sgeulachd Eile Mu Pheadar Rabaid is the Scottish Gaelic translation of The Further Tale of Peter Rabbit, a new tale written by Emma Thompson. In The Further Tale, Peter's adventures take him beyond the boundaries of Mr McGregor's garden into the Scottish hills. There he meets the gentle giant Finlay McBurney, a distant Scottish relative, and the new adventure begins. Emma Thompson, Oscar-winning actress and screen writer, is a long time admirer of Beatrix Potter's tales. She has a talent for creating engaging narratives with a dry humour similar to Potter's own and is the perfect choice of author for this new Peter Rabbit tale, to be published 110 years after the original. Emma was inspired to set the tale in Scotland by her knowledge of Beatrix's childhood holidays there.
Emma's new book is illustrated by Eleanor Taylor, who is well known for her children’s illustrations and translated into Scottish Gaelic by Catriona Murray.
The book is supported by Comhairle nan Leabhraichean and Grace Note Publications a Community Interest Company.
