Der Märchenkönig

The death of the actor playing Ludwig II in Munich's latest hit musical interrupts Helmut's plan for a peaceful weekend helping his aunt celebrate her 80th birthday. The investigation ultimately leads him beyond Munich to the famed "fairytale" castles in Neuschwanstein and on the Starnberger See. Set in culturally rich Bavaria, this fast-paced mystery holds the beginning reader's interest right from the beginning. Lose yourself in this contemporary mystery while expanding your knowledge beyond Neuschwanstein to include the story of Ludwig II and his castle-building fantasy in Southern Germany. Excellent as refresher for that German you learned "once upon a time" or current course enrichment. A level one reader written entirely in German with easy comprehension-help exercises. Ideal for class or individual use.
