The It-Doesn't-Matter Suit (Audio, Faber)

by Sylvia Plath

Undiscovered for years within the Plath collection at Indiana University, this delightful children's story is finally available to readers everywhere. It's the story of young Max Nix, a seven-year-old boy in search of the perfect set of clothing. Yet Max receives more than he bargained for in the wonderful, woolly, whiskery, brand-new, mustard-yellow It-Doesn't-Matter Suit.
