Read three stories by Katharina Leopold in the original Dutch beside a clear English translation, one sentence at a time. The fairy who tells the finest tales of all and how one princess came to hear her; a Sinterklaas evening of pepernoten and a bagpipe that will not stop playing; and an April Fools' day that runs away with everyone in the house.

Every sentence is aligned Dutch-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.

Leopold wrote these for schoolchildren, so the Dutch is clear and conversational, with a great deal of dialogue. The spelling is the older one ("hooren", "kleeren", "geene"), which is handled by the reader's definitions and is worth meeting — it is the spelling most Dutch classics are printed in.
