French fairytales

I’ve been trying to improve my French so whilst I was in Le Mans, I bought some children’s books to read. I’m currently reading “Le Lion, La Sorcière Blanche et L’Armoire Magique” (The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe). I can generally understand the gist of it but I need to read it alongside the English version to help translate the words I’m less familiar with. Sometimes I have to resort to the dictionary though due to slight differences in translation. Normally I read books very quickly, so it makes a change to have to go at a slower pace.
