About this listen

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. Rose’s captivating narration brings the characters and moral dilemmas to life, drawing listeners into a world where beauty and darkness intertwine, and every decision carries a weighty consequence.

Perfect for listeners who enjoy classic fairy tales with deeper moral themes, The Red Shoes is a thought-provoking and beautifully haunting story. This audiobook offers a compelling experience that will resonate with both young and adult audiences, reminding us of the power of humility and the perils of vanity.
