Customer Reviews

Excellent Learning Tool
I am a German student of three years, and I got this book in hopes to improve my German skills. I think that this is absolutely the best book a German student can get.
-A German-English Dictionary is not necessary to read this book
-Most stories are well-known, so even a student that doesn't have strong skills in either language can generally understand the stories
-On the left page is the German version, and the right page has the English version
-Most of the stories were intended for children anyway, so there aren't too many complicated words.
This book is great. I can practice German even when I'm not in the classroom! I recommend it for a student of German or English.

good book, not for beginners
This is an excellent book with fine historic background. Do not assume that this is for beginners though. The old style german is probably better for intermediate to advanced readers.

An excellent choice!
This book was an excellent choice for me with my limited German reading skills. I can read the familiar fairy tale in English to help me piece together the meaning of the words I do not know in German. I love that it is full of classic fairly tales. It is not for beginers, but it's still like having "training wheels". I am am very pleased with the purchase.
