About This Book

Once upon a time there was a vain emperor who loved new clothes more than anything. He was the perfect dupe for two sly tricksters' clever plot. Claiming to be able to weave a fabulous cloth that is invisible to all who are stupid or unfit for their jobs, the tricksters promise to create a marvelous set of clothes for the emperor to wear in the great procession. The emperor pays the tricksters handsomely for their work, but he and his subjects are in for a very big surprise!?Eve Tharlet's sweet, simple adaptation of one of Hans Christian Andersen's jolliest stories shows just how foolhardy pride and vanity can be.?
