This book is a Dutch translation of a Danish novel. It uses older spelling conventions and vocabulary that may feel slightly dated to a modern reader. The sentences are structured in a traditional narrative style, which can be challenging for those accustomed to contemporary Dutch. The themes revolve around storytelling and imagination, often presented with descriptive language. This text is suitable for learners who want to practice reading historical prose and are comfortable with a more formal and literary tone.

Questions about this book

What level of Dutch do I need for this book?

The estimate is B2, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.

Is this book really free?

Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.

How does reading with a translation work?

Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.

How long does it take to read?

About 4 h 57 min at a native pace, spread over 4 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
