About this audiobook
"The Lady or the Tiger?" is the story of a king who devised a particularly inventive form of punishment. When a courtier dares to fall in love with the king's daughter, he is forced to choose between two doors: one with a lady behind it, and the other with a tiger. The plot does not disclose his fate.
Author
Frank R. Stockton
Frank R. Stockton (1834–1902) was an American novelist and short story writer who became popular during the late nineteenth century. Born in Philadelphia to religious parents, writing wasn’t viewed as a respectable or sustainable career. Despite objections, Stockton worked as a wood engraver before joining a local newspaper. He also worked at several magazines including Hearth and Home. Stockton became known for his children’s stories such as Ting-a-Ling Tales (1870) and The Floating Prince (1881). His most famous title, The Lady, or the Tiger?, is often the lead entry in his short story collections.
