Famous novels and short stories, retold whole in easy Chinese. Free to read in the browser, each with the English beside every paragraph.

About the series

The great stories everyone has heard of, retold in easy Chinese with a translation beside every paragraph: a detective, a monster on the moor, a treasure map, a journey around the world, and the best-known short stories too. Each book is the whole story: every scene, every character and the real ending.

The Chinese is at A2: common words that come back again and again, short sentences, and the everyday past tense. You can read a real novel from the first page to the last with the Chinese you already have.

Some books are short stories you can finish in one sitting; others are full novels in many chapters. Every chapter ends where you want to know what happens next.
