This is the imaginative tale of a vain Emperor who is hilariously deceived due to his own vanity and dihonesty. The Emperor, who is swindled by two crooks posing as weavers, is fooled because of his desire to be both handsome and wise.

This story is pretty decent coming from Hans Christian Andersen. This one wasn’t the best nor the worst. 

The writing style here was pretty good. Which reminded me why I like Hans Christian Andersen’s stories so much. He has a pretty unique written style is can both speak to an child and to an adult.

All of the characters here was pretty flat, but it is acceptable because it is a short story which means we don’t have a lot of time to get to know the characters in it

I personally think that this story would do better when it was read as a child rather than an adult. But I found Hans Christian Andersen’s retellings of children stories to be very unique, interesting and fun.

I Give This Book 3 / 5
