Bookroo's summary

An Emperor obsessed with fashion falls prey to cunning swindlers who promise him a magical suit. As he parades in his invisible attire, will anyone dare to reveal the truth? Discover the hilarity and folly in this timeless tale of vanity and deception.

From the publisher

Virginia Lee Burton has added her own irrepressible humor in pictures and design to the tale children have loved for centuries. The Emperor, his court, and clothes – or lack of them – are ridiculous as only Hans Christian Andersen can make them. The whole is a delightful concoction.
