Summary

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 read this when I was a child and was eager to hear it once again. The narrator did a splendid job.

"The wise from the foolish."

The classic Hans Christian Andersen story of the vain emperor and his courtiers tricked by fraudsters.
Anyone remember the brilliant and funny Danny Kaye song?

Nicely read in a 'Listen with Mother' crystal clarity with fun accents by Tamsin Craig

A favourite since childhood...

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.
