I'm not sure whether I've written about Der kleine Nick before ... but it doesn't matter, because it's well worth mentioning him again.... his stories are short, funny, entertaining and numerous !
What more could you want ?
They were originally French .... Le petit Nicolas .... but they've gone into lots of languages... but not, unfortunately Welsh.
They are also , importantly, dirt cheap on Amazon ...
I wonder what the German equivalent of " dirt cheap" is. Schmutzbillig ?
In every story ... and there are many, many of them, you know right from the start that something is going to go drastically wrong !
Him and his " Band" drive their teachers and parents round the twist .
( Except in just one of the stories .... it comes as a real surprise ..... what a neat thing to do !)
( I wonder what " driving round the twist" is in German)
The main thing is .... you are really motivated to read them, because of that pending farcical bodge-up that's going to happen. Plus, the German is not too tricky. Very user-friendly.
( I wonder what THAT is in German )
I've read them in French, German and Spanish ...so you can as well.
I'm still waiting patiently for the Welsh versions ... but I'm not optimistic.
Meanwhile, we have what is, apparently. the worst German song ever ...
