About this listen

In this timeless fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, a humble fisherman makes an extraordinary catch—a magical fish that grants wishes. After releasing the fish back into the sea, the fisherman's wife demands more and more from the enchanted creature, seeking wealth, power, and status beyond her wildest dreams. As each wish is granted, the couple’s greed grows, testing the limits of the magical fish's generosity.

This classic tale of contentment, ambition, and the consequences of greed is brought to life with captivating narration by Erica Holden. Ideal for listeners of all ages, The Fisherman and His Wife reminds us of the age-old lesson: be careful what you wish for.
