Publisher's Summary

This short story from Hans Christian Andersen is an interesting look at the challenges that come from getting what you want. In this delightful tale, a puppet master would do almost anything if his puppets became real and he could lead them in delighting audiences, but when he gets what he wants - he no longer wants it. Perhaps that is one of the strongest morals found in this classic.

Narrated by Glenn Hascall.
