Retelling of Hans Christian Andersen fairy tales + Christian expositions

The Emperor’s New Clothes and Other Stories brings together more of Geoffrey Thomas’s short stories, each brimming with the big heartedness, warmth and homespun humour that he is known for.

3) The Little Boy who Shot the Old Poet

4) The Nightingale

5) The Two Fir Trees
