About this audiobook

Alfred, a young sculptor, comes home from Italy and meets a woman of great beauty, Kaela, at a party. He is captivated by her looks and marries her, and her mother moves in with them. Soon the household feels dull and shallow. A plainer friend, Sophy, comes to stay, and her kindness and good sense begin to stand out. Hans Christian Andersen's story asks what we really want in a partner: a face or a mind. Michele Wagner reads it in eighteen minutes. For listeners who like Andersen's quieter, more thoughtful tales.
