He did not trouble himself in the least about his soldiers; nor did he care to go either to the theatre or the chase, except for the opportunities then afforded him for displaying his new clothes. He had a different suit for each hour of the day; and as of any other king or emperor, one is accustomed to say, "he is sitting in council," it was always said of him, "The Emperor is sitting in his wardrobe." Time passed merrily in the large town which was his capital; strangers arrived every day at the court. One day, two rogues, calling themselves weavers, made their appearance. They gave out that they knew how to weave stuffs of the most beautiful colors and elaborate patterns, the clothes manufactured from which should have the wonderful property of remaining invisible to everyone who was unfit for the office he held, or who was extraordinarily simple in character.
Danish novelist and poet Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) is best known for his captivating fairy tales, which have grown to be cherished classics of children's literature. Andersen, who was raised in poverty and had no formal schooling when he was a child in Odense, Denmark, overcame these obstacles to become one of the greatest storytellers of all time. Fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen, including "The Snow Queen," "The Emperor's New Clothes," "The Little Mermaid," and "The Ugly Duckling," have gained international recognition and have been translated into several languages. Transformation, resiliency, compassion, and the triumph of the human spirit are frequent themes in his tales. Andersen's stories often discuss both the good and bad sides of life, demonstrating his talent for expressing difficult feelings and moral teachings in a compelling and understandable way. Andersen created dramas, novels, and travelogues in addition to his fairy tales, but it is his fairy tales that have had the longest-lasting influence on literature and popular culture. The innovative narrative, enduring characters, and profound ideas in Andersen's writings continue to be treasured. His reputation as a brilliant storyteller persists, and readers of all ages all over the globe continue to treasure and read his works.
