Gravee (pronounced Gravy) is one of my best friends. He’s Scottish, and has an accent some people find a little difficult to understand at first.
To help the non-Scottish, click the link below for a PDF file containing some of Gravee’s more unusual words and pronunciations. I promise to keep it up-to-date it as more Jaspa’s Journey books are published.
