A little girl is entranced by the beauty of a pair of enchanted red shoes and wears them to church. On the way out of church she does a little dance to show off the shoes, and she finds that the shoes will not stop dancing. The shoes force her to dance day and night without rest. Will she learn the lesson of humility and be free from the curse of the red shoes, or will she have to dance for the rest of her life? This charming story from Hans Christian Anderson comes alive with beautiful illustrations for readers of all ages.
