Nuair a tha an dràgon as fiadhaiche air an t-saoghal a’ briseadh caisteal na Bana-phrionnsa Ealasaid na bhleideagan, a’ losgadh a h-uile stiall aodaich a th’ aice, agus a’ falbh leis a’ Phrionnsa Raghnall, a tha i am beachd pòsadh, tha Ealasaid a’ gabhail ghnothaichean os làimh. Gun aice ach a tonaisg fhèin, agus gun chàil a chuireas i oirre ach poca pàipeir, tha a’ bhana-phrionnsa a’ toirt dùbhlan dhan dràgon a chuid neart a shealltainn agus i an dòchas gun sàbhail i am prionnsa. Ach saoil an fhiach e na tha siud de dh’àmhghar?

Tha Clò a’ Bhradain toilichte leabhar ùr a chur air bhog: Bana-phrionnsa a’ Phoca Phàipeir, sgeulachd chlasaigeach Canèideanach le Robert Munsch, dealbhaichte le Michael Martchenko, agus air fhoillseachadh an toiseach le Annick Press. Air eadar-theangachadh le Mòrag Anna NicNèill, ùghdar is bàrd a bhuannaich iomadh duais airson a cuid sgrìobhaidh. ‘S i a dh’eadar-theangaich Anne of Green Gables gu Gàidhlig mar Anna Ruadh cuideachd.

When the fiercest dragon in the whole world smashes Princess Elizabeth’s castle, burns all her clothes, and captures her fiancé, Prince Ronald, Elizabeth takes matters into her own hands. With her wits alone and nothing but a paper bag to wear, the princess challenges the dragon to show his strength in the hopes of saving the prince. But is it worth all that trouble?

Bradan Press is delighted to present the Scottish Gaelic translation of the beloved Canadian classic The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch, illustrated by Michael Martchenko, and originally published by Annick Press. The Scottish Gaelic translation is by Mòrag Anna NicNèill, an award-winning Gaelic author and poet who is also the translator of Anne of Green Gables (Anna Ruadh).
