Short stories, alle auf Deutsch, which are bound to entertain either you or your college, university, or high school class. Siegfried Lenz may not only be a world-class author, but also a world-class traveler as well, from which he draws his inspiration and material for this book. Thus, this book is a compilation of short stories, one may even call it a compendium of a series of travelogue stories, of his visits to Schleswig-Holstein/Denmark and the down-to-earth, "funny" people he meets there, to Japan and the young, grammar school-aged students whom he meets, and to none other than Australia itself, where he encounters the kookaburra bird, and the Australian people for whom the bird laughs. All in all, a vivid portrayal of life's wonders, people, and scenery alle auf Deutsch, to improve your German vocabulary and reading skills.

Schöne lesende!
