Saturday morning, while browsing Facebook, I found an interested an unexpected article — Lucy Maud Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables<\/em> is being translated into Scots Gaelic<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Canadian dialect of Gaelic<\/a> was spoken on Prince Edward Island, though in declining numbers, at the time Montgomery’s novels were set, and I did not know that Montgomery herself had married a Gaelic speaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bradan Press<\/a> is running a Kickstarter to fund the translation and publication of <\/a>Anna Ruadh<\/a><\/em>, the Gaelic translation, and though I don’t speak Gaelic (despite efforts at working through some podcasts) I made a pledge of support for a hardcover edition of the book. But there are also unique artworks (the cover in various sizes) and totes bogs on offer that would be of interest to Anne collectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
