The King’s New Clothes is an adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Emperor’s New Clothes. It’s the story of  two weavers who promise the king a new suit of clothes that they say is invisible to those who are unfit for their positions, stupid, or incompetent, while in reality, they make no clothes at all.

Global ELT Fairy Tales: Graded Readers for Young Learners is a graded reading series specifically written for children who learn English as a foreign language. The series is aligned to the Common European Framework

Wordlists and Syllabus of the pre-A1 Starters, A1- Movers and A2-Flyers exams.
This new series uses some of the most popular fairy tales of world literature that have been carefully adapted for English language learners, to bring English to life. The stories are beautifully illustrated with engaging illustrations,
