    About this audiobook

    Hans Christian Andersen was a Danish author best known for writing children's stories including "The Little Mermaid" and "The Ugly Duckling." Andersen achieved worldwide fame for writing innovative and influential fairy tales. He was the first Danish author to emerge from the lowest class. He enjoyed fame as a novelist, dramatist, and poet, but his fairy tales are his greatest contribution to world literature. The Last Pearl is a truly magnificent and edifying fairytale. It tells us a story of a happy family, whose happiness got even bigger with each baby having been born. Then there came the angels and said that there was something still missing for the family to be absolutely happy. And this missing thing was called The Last Pearl, so the family and the angels set off to find it... Get acquainted with a miraculous story of love and happiness!
