About this listen

What if a simple pair of shoes could grant your deepest wish—only to twist it into something you never expected?

In The Shoes of Fortune, Hans Christian Andersen delivers a clever, darkly humorous tale of magical mishap and human folly. When a pair of enchanted galoshes appears in Copenhagen, those who wear them are instantly transported to the time, place, or life they most desire. But each new reality—whether it be a glorious medieval past, the romantic moon, or the carefree life of another person—reveals that happiness isn't always where we imagine it to be.

Narrated with nuance and warmth by Tony J. Martin, this timeless classic blends fantasy, satire, and moral insight in a way only Andersen can. A whimsical yet thought-provoking journey into dreams, identity, and the curious consequences of getting exactly what you wish for.

Perfect for fans of fairy tales, classic literature, and philosophical fiction.
