#164 - Pinkel The Thief

Hans Christian Andersen's The Emperor's New Clothes has been a favorite story of mine since I was a child. It's over a hundred years old but still very relevant to our world today. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

If you like the sound of the creek in the background while I read or you'd like a longer audio file to put you to sleep, I've made an extended version of Episode 3. It has just the story, no introduction, with creek sounds underneath. When the story ends, the creek sounds continue to the end.
