Read two of Wilhelm Hauff's best-loved German fairy tales in the original German beside a clear English translation, one sentence at a time. "Kalif Storch" (Caliph Stork), in which a caliph and his vizier are tricked into becoming storks and forget the magic word to change back, and "Die Geschichte von dem kleinen Muck" (The Story of Little Muck), the tale of a small misfit who finds magic slippers and a wishing-cane — both are cornerstones of German children's literature.

Every sentence is aligned German-to-English, so you always know exactly what you are reading. Tap any word for an instant definition, listen to natural audio in both languages, and follow the highlighted word alignment as the story is read aloud.

A warm, rewarding way into real German literary prose for beginners and improving learners alike.
