Other editions of book The Emperor's New Clothes: and Other Stories

A proud and arrogant emperor who stresses of nothing but dressing in and showing off wardrobes employs two dressmakers who assure him the greatest, first class suit of wardrobes from a clothing material non-existent to every people who is either not right for his status or "hopelessly stupid". The emperor's holy men cannot look into the garments themselves, but act as if that they can for fright of being seen unsuitable for their positions, and the emperor does the same. The dressmakers then inform that the wardrobe is done, they satirize clothing him, and the emperor parades in procession before his lieges. The townspeople act next to the sham, not wanting to be seen unsuitable for their positions or lame. Then, a kid in the bunch, very young to grasp the rightness of keeping pace of the make-believe, shouts out that the emperor has no clothes, and the scream is brought up by others. The emperor doubts the contention is factual but carries on the parade. Hans Christian Andersen, frequently known in Scandinavia as H. C. Andersen was a Danish writer. Though a creative author of dramas, travelogues, novels, and poetry, Hans is most regarded for his fairy stories. His fame is not narrowed to the young ones; his tales, termed eventyr in Danish, utter ideas that go beyond age and race. Hans's children's stories, which have been converted into over 125 lingos, have become socially entrenched in the West's mutual cognizance, freely available to kids, but showing lessons of goodness and spirit in the matter of tough times for grownups in addition. A few of his best known fairy tales are "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Little Mermaid", "The Nightingale", "The Snow Queen", "The Ugly Duckling", "Thumbelina" and so much more. His tales have encouraged ballets, animated and live-action movies and dramas.

Hans Christian Andersen was a Danish author best known for writing children's stories including "The Little Mermaid" and "The Ugly Duckling." But he didn't just write short stories, and his intended audience wasn't restricted to children. In addition to his fairy tales, Andersen wrote poems, plays, novels, travel books, essays, and more. He hungered for recognition at home (Denmark) and abroad—and he got it! Eventually. Today, his stories can be read in over one hundred languages. But no matter what language they're in, Andersen's tales have got something for everyone. In them, you'll find beauty, tragedy, nature, religion, artfulness, deception, betrayal, love, death, judgment, penance, and—occasionally—a happy ending. They're complex tales, but since Andersen himself was pretty complex, we like to think that art imitates life. Or something like that. "The Emperor's New Clothes" (Danish: Kejserens nye Kl?der) is a short tale by Hans Christian Andersen about two weavers who promise an Emperor a new suit of clothes that is invisible to those who are unfit for their positions, stupid, or incompetent. When the Emperor parades before his subjects in his new clothes, no one dares to say that he doesn't see any suit of clothes until a child cries out, "But he isn't wearing anything at all!" The tale has been translated into over a hundred languages. Includes a unique illustration!
