The Brothers Rivinius Fairy Tales: Volume 2: Deutsch/English

The story continues – and so does the effortless language learning!

Volume 2 opens in the aftermath of Volume 1’s cliffhanger in a 14th-century-inspired forest village. Lumberjack Kip and runaway maiden Garnet now face choices that will change their lives forever:

• Can Kip finally escape the woods and earn the farm he has dreamed of for years?

• Will Garnet remain in the quiet village or chase the grand future she left her old life for?

• What long-buried secrets from Kip’s past are about to come to light?

The entire first half of the book answers these questions and carries their tale to its decisive turning point.

The second half begins a brand-new adventure. When the kingdom’s Princess falls deathly ill, seven very different travelers are thrown together on an urgent quest: brave a deadly dungeon and bring back the single Golden Fruit that can save her. The party consists of Sophos, Deib, Festung, Anthurium, Melos, Aurum, and Jushi – a wizard, rogue, warrior, archer, bard, healer, and monk whose clashing backgrounds will be tested as fiercely as the monsters below.

The volume contains each story in both German and English, engaging readers of both. Read for the story; improve vocabulary, grammar, and cultural fluency without noticing the lesson.
