Readers may remember that last year Susan Rennie translated the first ever Scots version of Tintin (The Derk Isle), which was well received. This marked a significant milestone in Scots language translation, given that Tintin is a world-renowned brand. 

Now Scots readers and Tintin fans will be pleased to hear that Susan has produced her second translation of Tintin, called The Merk o the Pharaoh , which, as the title suggests, tells of adventures in Egypt and the quest by Tintin, his dog Tarrie, and Professor Cameron Cartouche, for the lost tomb of Pharoah Kih-Oskh. The book is published by Dalen Alba (ISBN 978-1906587475) and is due to appear this summer. Watch this space.
