40: Foreign languages, myth exploring and children's stories with Pauline Mackay


Listen Later

Today we have a special talk with one of our wonderful local publishers here in the Highlands: Inverness-based Pauline Mackay is an author and the founder of Ablekids Press, an independent publisher specialised in bilingual books for children.

Her stories, drawing from Scottish folklore - but also from myths and legends around the world - are translated in an impressive variety of languages and are a great connection for children (and adults) visiting Scotland to the local heritage.

So if you like some polyglot talk with a sprinkle of creativity, do tune in!
