The Lady, or the Tiger? by Frank R. Stockton is one of the most enduring short stories in American literature, celebrated for its ingenious open ending and its provocative exploration of human nature, love, jealousy, and justice.

First published in 1882, this classic fable is set in a semi-barbaric kingdom where accused individuals must choose their fate by opening one of two doors—behind one awaits a beautiful bride, behind the other, a hungry tiger. When the king’s daughter falls in love with a young courtier, her lover is subjected to this cruel trial. But she knows which door hides what. Will she lead him to the lady... or the tiger?

In this full audiobook experience, Stockton’s captivating prose is brought to life with dramatic narration, inviting the listener to step into a story that ends with a question only the listener can answer. A perfect listen for fans of philosophical fiction, moral dilemmas, and classic short stories.
