Summary

Glenn Hascall narrates this charming Hans Christian Anderson story of the vain Emperor who rather than be thought stupid or incompetent because he can't see the "beautiful" cloth to conniving weavers have sold him parades through the kingdom naked until a child too young and naïve to go along with the deception spills the beans.
