Editors Weekly review. 'Gritta and the Witches of Olavland'. Four star review. Chuffed.

I was chuffed to notice that the Editors Weekly have posted on the web a four star review of 'Gritta and the Witches of Olavland'. To read the review, just search for the keywords.

Because I was chuffed, I Googled the origin of the word in case it's not in common usage. It is, 'Originally northern English dialect meaning 'proud', adopted by military, then wider society.' As well as proud, it can variably be substituted for 'pleased', 'delighted'; 'flattered'; 'very excited'. I can't say that I'm 'very excited' but I am chuffed in a 'delighted' sort of way. The word apparently comes from dialectal (northern England) chuff, originally meaning “puffed with fat.”
