Listen: The Emperor’s New Suit by Hans Christian Andersen (read by Katie)

April 30, 2020

 

"Many, many years ago lived an emperor, who thought so much of new clothes that he spent all his money in order to obtain them; his only ambition was to be always well dressed."

 

Listen along as Medina Books' very own Katie reads the classic fairytale, The Emperor's New Suit.

The Emeperor loves clothes more than anything, so when two swindlers come into his kingdom claiming that the cloth they weave has magical properties, the Emperor can't resist asking them to make him a new suit.
