That sounds brilliant! I do like German's kids books. I'm a big fan of Michael Ende and Otfried Preußler. My German isn't nearly as good as I'd like but I find if I have dual language I can usually get something out of the German. So will try and find a German and an English translation. The quotes sound lovely! And like something I could totally relate to :) *cough my house has piles of books EVERYWHERE*
Oh, that would be interesting, if you could make a comparison. I don't know any other language well enough to read a book in it, so if you do I'd be interested to know if there are any major differences - or if either is better/worse written!
I really like the way German is written, particularly for kids books. They have so many great sounding spooky words. Though while I was looking for copies there was a German student who said the translation was very good so that's encouraging! I found copies in German on amazon (but not at our library- though they did have many english translations) so won't have to wait till I go back to Berlin to get a copy :)
It is lots of work! I'm really bad at languages. At first German was quite easy because there is so much similar with English but then the grammer got very difficult! But I would love to read it properly. But don't have time to study it at the moment.
