About this listen

The Emperor loves to wear the most fashionable and finest clothes in the land. However, when two strangers suggest that they can weave him a special suit - which is invisible to anyone who's not worthy and wise - it has to be seen to be believed.

A magical retelling of the classic fairy tale, read by Tamsin Greig.

I really enjoyed hearing this childhood classic. The narrator did an excellent job. The story says so much about human nature that can be related to by listeners or readers of all ages. I loved it as a child, and still do.

A favourite since childhood...
