About the series
Short Dutch stories written for this library, each with a translation beside every paragraph. Made-up stories in all kinds of settings, from a flat in town to a spaceship, each with a small mystery or a turn at the end, and a length you can finish in one sitting.
They are told in the past, in the everyday past tenses of spoken Dutch, the way people tell each other what happened.
The series is graded: the A2 stories keep to common words and short sentences, the B1 stories are longer, with more dialogue and a wider vocabulary.
