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.
