This episode begins with Chapter IV of The Shoes of Fortune, a resident at a local hospital wears the enchanted galoshes and get stuck in a fence, attends a fortune telling event, and travels through the hearts of unsuspecting theater goers. 

In Chapter V we learn of a police clerk who turns into a poet and a chirping bird. 

We follow the adventures of some unsuspecting soles who unknowingly put on 'the shoes of fortune'. 

Today we have two tales by Hans Christian Anderson, The Swineherd - a tale of a prince who, having been rejected by a princess, seeks his revenge in a bewildering fashion, and A Real Princess about a Queen Mother who creates a bizarre test to see if a young lady who showed up at their door one evening truly is a princess. 

It's great to be back again. I hope you enjoy this reading of The Emperor's New Clothes by Hans Christian Anderson. 

In this episode, we meet Gertrude who travels to Knotacentinim Towers (pronounced Nosham Taws) to act as governess for the children of Lord Knotacent, who - in turn, has a secret. In order to keep this secret, he insists his son, Ronald, marry and soon. Ronald refuses, wishing to marry for love. Wait! It seems a mystery surrounds Gertrude's inheritance as well. Will our heroine discover the truth? Will Ronald marry for family or for love? Will the English ever learn to pronounce English? Listen and find out. 

Once again, Leacock delves into the realm of true love, deceit, and inheritance. Enjoy!

In this episode, we learn how strongly two people can love someone they have never met. Enjoy. 

This pstory cracks me up. I enjoyed reading and hope you enjoy listening to it. 

Hello,

I hope you all enjoy this first story in a series of stories written by Stephen Leacock in his book, Nonsense Novels.

Hello KRTC fans! 

I'm excited about Season 4 because we're reading Stephen Leacock's Nonsense Novels, a series of short stories, which are, in short, ridiculous! I hope you enjoy this first one called Maddened By Mystery, or The Defective Detective.
