Inta Shetland

Inta Shetland works in association with Hansel Cooperative Press to translate classic literature into Shetland dialect and, where possible, to offer dialect resources and support to local schools free of charge. Current work is undertaken by Christine De Luca.

You can read the amazing Roald Dahl story, George's Marvellous Medicine, in English and several foreign languages...even in Scots. But now you can also read it in Shetland dialect! Each child in the primary 4-7 age range has received a free copy of Dodie's Phenomenal Pheesic and each primary school has received, free of charge, a class set of the book. The idea is to help children read the dialect fluently and involve parents and grandparents in the process. Thankfully not everyone's granny is like George's!
