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.
