Synopsis

Like everyone else in the kingdom, two clever swindlers understand the king’s passion for new clothes. Claiming to be the creators of the richest and most beautiful cloth in the world, they cleverly announce that the “magical” garments they are weaving for the Emperor are invisible to anyone lacking intelligence. Who will have the courage to speak the truth? Ages 5 and up. Written by Hans Christian Andersen. Illustrated by Robert Van Nutt. Part of the award-winning Rabbit Ears Storybook Classics series. DVD and audio versions, narrated by Sir John Gielgud with original music by Mark Isham, were recognized with a Grammy Award Nomination – Best Recording for Children and the Parents’ Choice Gold Seal. Both DVD and audio (CD) versions are also available on Amazon.com (through disc on demand/Amazon Instant Video or Audible.com).

From the Inside Flap

"I love clothes," cries the Emperor, and he's not kidding. He doesn't care a fig for anything or anybody else--he doesn't have to, he's the Emperor. What a spoiled pig! He's so vain and stuck-up that he's the perfect target for two sly swindlers, who weave him a suit of clothes no one will ever forget--especially not the Emperor!
