Posted on

We are back from Bologna book fair and are happy to report that Publishing House Greg has snapped up the Polish rights to PRANKENSTEIN by Kaisa Paasto and illustrated by Mari Ahokoivu! This deal was closed by Anna Kappauf at Elina Ahlback Agency.

Publishing House Greg is a children’s books publisher publishing children’s and YA titles from the classics to more contemporary titles as well as educational books for children.

PRANKENSTEIN was creating a nice buzz during Bologna book fair – the funny and heartwarming story, fresh black-and-white illustrations, and relatively short text with appeal for reluctant and first time readers seemed to tick many boxes of what editors were looking for across all territories!

And we have a full English sample translation for you to read!
