But the gem of the whole collection, I am inclined to think, is "The Emperor's New Clothes," which in subtlety of intention and universality of application rises above age and nationality. Respect for the world's opinion and the tyranny of fashion have never been satirized with more exquisite humor than in the figure of the emperor who walks through the streets of his capital in robe de nuit, followed by a procession of courtiers, who all go into ecstasies over the splendor of his attire. —Essays on Scandinavian Literature, by Hjalmar Hjorth Boyesen “The Emperor's New Clothes” is but one of seven classic fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen in this 1911 collection. Written for children, their appeal knows no bounds. Setting this edition apart from other Andersen collections are the extraordinary illustrations of Edmund Dulac.
