Excellent and Entertaining

Kernecker and Flippo's collection of folk tales from German-speaking Europe is wonderful material for students of the language with a basic proficiency in German grammar and vocabulary. It is comprised of seventeen legends, varying in length between one and three pages, each preceeded by a paragraph of background material and followed by a page of review questions. The book includes a small but invaluable German-English glossary, owing to the out-of-the-way nature of some of the vocabulary. Aside from the preface and glossary, this book is written entirely in German. While it is not appropriate for the beginner, it is a highly entertaining and helpful book for more experienced students of German.
