The emperor is very vain, and he loves dressing himself in fine clothes. So he is easily duped when two swindlers arrive in town professing that they can make him the finest suit ever made - a suit so smart that it can only be seen by clever people! A beautifully illustrated retelling of this favourite traditional story.

The Emperor's New Clothes
Once upon a time there lived an emperor who loved clothes and was extremely vain. I must have a new outfit for the royal procession and I need it to be designed by someone totally splendid, he demanded of his butler. The emperor was warned that a new outfit would be very expensive and there wasnt really much money to spare for new togs, but he was adamant. The palace put out a proclamation asking that splendid fashion designers put themselves forth for interview to design a royal outfit for the royal procession. A pair of chancers thought they would give it a go. They flattered the emperor to such an extent they managed to convince him that no clothes at all were an outfit fit for a king that and visible only to clever people. On the day of the royal procession no-one dared tell the emperor that he was starkers for fear of being accused that they were stupid. But the truth was in any case revealed when a little boy shouted Oh my, the emperor has no clothes on!.
