About this audiobook

A butterfly wants a wife, and he goes looking for one in a garden full of flowers. Every flower has something wrong with her. This one is too grand, that one too plain, another too shy. Hans Christian Andersen's short fairy tale is gently funny, about the fussy search for the perfect match. Read by Liz Leafloor. Seven minutes. It is a story for children and adults alike, and it makes a nice quick listen.
