Audible Audiobook
(Plain Tales, Inc. May 29, 2009)
Hans Christian Andersen is one of the world's 10 most translated authors, and you only have to listen to understand why. He brings a silly sensibility to stories that showcase the triumph of the downtrodden (the ugly duckling that turns into a beautiful swan) and the downfall of the triumphant (the emperor whose arrogance won't allow him to admit that he's parading in public without any clothes).
Included in this collection: "The Ugly Duckling", "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Princess and the Pea", "The Nightingale".
