The Diamond Tree

By Linda A. Gould

A BOOK IN ENGLISH AND JAPANESE The Diamond Tree is a modern fairytale. Through no fault of her own, Anai finds herself trapped on a mountain. She waits for years to be rescued, maybe by a handsome prince. One day, though, she is faced with a choice that tests her courage and independence. The Diamond Tree is a dual-language story in English and Japanese. While reading is recognised as an effective way to learn a second language, and improve vocabulary and grammar, reading fiction often proves difficult. Literature can be too difficult in its original form, and graded readers are sometimes too simplified. This dual-language book allows readers to challenge themselves with the original text of the story, and check the interpretation when they run into difficulties. Suitable for young adults and adults, the book includes discussion topics, as well as vocabulary and translation practice for students of Japanese or English.
