Na Tr Mathain

This is the Scottish Gaelic translation of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Once upon a time, a family of three bears lived in a house in the woods. One day while the bears were out, a girl named Goldilocks walked into their house... The Gaelic translator of Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit brings us another tale perfect for Scottish Gaelic language learners of all ages. The formulaic repetition naturally teaches basic points of Gaelic grammar while expanding vocabulary. Dr. Jamie MacDonald's translation is accompanied by the charming Edwardian vintage illustrations of Leonard Leslie Brooke and William Morris.

A resident of Nova Scotia, Dr. James R. MacDonald is originally from North Carolina, a descendant of the Highland Scottish settlers that immigrated to the Cape Fear River Valley.

Dr. MacDonald taught Celtic Studies at St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia and has tutored many Gaelic learners. He currently teaches through Comunn Gàidhlig Thoronto / The Toronto Gaelic Society.
