Mr Eejit wis an eejit. He wis boarn an eejit. And noo at the graund auld age o sixty, he wis a bigger eejit than ever.

A real coup for Itchy Coo! For the first time, the wonderful world of Roald Dahl appears in the Scots Language. In The Twits, Roald Dahl's story about the world's most revolting couple, Mr Twit was horrible and hairy and his wife Mrs Twit was just plain ugly. Now in The Eejits they are honkin, mawkit, bowfin and clarty and Mrs Eejit's hackitness is revealed in all its manky glory.

In Matthew Fitt's translation of this classic book you can find out exactly what sleekit terrible things the Eejits do to each other and what makes them both so completely mingin."
