Local publishers Miller have issued six Geronimo Stilton adventure books in Maltese, just in time for Christmas.

These best-selling children's books are narrated by Geronimo Stilton, a mouse from New Mouse City in Mouse Island. He is the editor and publisher of the city's most widely read newspaper and author of more than 40 adventure novels. Mr Stilton is a collector of antique cheese rinds and plays golf in his spare time.

All titles are intended for readers aged between 6 and 12 years and can now be bought from all leading bookshops across Malta and Gozo. Each book is being sold for €8.99.
