Abstract
This is a large (8½" x 10½") 32-page pamphlet containing three stories: "The Emperor's New Clothes"; "Dick Whittington"; and "The Three Heads in the Well." The best feature of "Emperor" is the procession which presents the king fully naked in the midst of his clothed attendants and clothed citizenry. This parade illustration stretches across two pages (10-11) showing "a rather plump middle-aged man wearing nothing at all" (10). This emperor goes through with the parade. The next morning he throws out his full-length mirrors.
