Sometimes telling the truth can make us feel very silly, but not telling the truth makes us even sillier. A vain and self-important Emperor is tricked by two sneaky tailors into thinking that he has a marvelous suit that only wise people can see, when in fact he has no suit at all. Will anyone step forward and tell the truth about the invisible clothes, or is the Emperor doomed to parade around town in his underwear? This beloved story from Hans Christian Anderson teaches an important lesson about humility and truth, brought to life with beautiful illustrations.
