Abstract

en_US As I wrote of the 1998 English-language original, this large-format book is a fascinating tour de force! At least this copy does not have the CD that helped to make the English original so wonderful. The readers are still listed here at the back of the edition. This version of the story delves deeply into the story of the clothes that are not. Anchorman among the narrators is a moth. Everybody and everything get into the act: advisors of every sort, the court wise man, holy man, and jester, the spinning wheel, spectacles, and mirror, and even the emperor's underwear! In one of the best lines in the book, the boy's mother tries to silence him by saying "Die Kleider sind doch fleischfarben; siehst du nicht die hübschen blauen Linien auf den Strümpfen der Kaiserin? " (59). Among the best illustrators are "The Imperial Mirror" (44) by Kinuko Y. Craft and "The Honest Boy's Mother" (58) by Fred Marcellino. The parade becomes a charade to expose the evildoers. I suspect that I am bending my definition of fable a bit to include this story. This lovely book is one of the reasons why I am bending.
