Dnd has the slimmed down Basic Rules for free. It should have enough to get started playing from a rules standpoint. They are also free low level characters online as well if you don't want to make them yourself.
They don't have an official free adventure but there are plenty out there. You can obviously make them and the basic rules have a DM section.
Obviously this is recommend for the cost. The starter set and essential kits are good as well. However, they do have a cost.
Thank you. I don't mind shelling out 20-25 euros for a set. Maybe this would make the game more appealing for the kid :-)
I liked the Essential Set more than the starter set but I bought the Essential Kit after I started playing for a while.
The basic rules are great since you can print off a copy for everyone as their own reference and can even get just a subset for what they need to know as a character. That is great as a replacement PHB for newbies until you want to go all in on costs. I think the basic rules are identical to the starter set but I don't remember exactly.
