Illustrated by the beloved creator of Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel, The Little House, and Katy and the Big Snow, here is a delightful version of the tale that boys and girls have loved for centuries. The Emperor himself, his court, and his clothes-or lack of them-are ridiculous as only the master storyteller Hans Christian Andersen can make them.

I read and loved all of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales growing up in the early 1990s.
Really, everyone is just waiting for an opportunity to laugh at you all naked, just like in your dreams.
