Step into the haunting world of Hans Christian Andersen's classic fairy tale, The Red Shoes. This story follows a young girl named Karen, who becomes enchanted by a pair of beautiful red shoes. As she succumbs to vanity and the allure of the shoes, she soon discovers the curse they carry—a punishment that leads her down a dark path of endless dancing and remorse. Andersen weaves a timeless narrative about desire, vanity, and the consequences of our choices.

Narrated by Nettie Rose, this audiobook captures both the enchanting beauty and the chilling darkness of Andersen's tale.
