Publisher's summary

Welcome to Sleep Stories - fairy tales and folk stories specifically engineered to help you fall asleep faster and sleep through the night. Just turn on your Sleep Story audiobook, close your eyes, and drift off.

Have you ever done something simply due to pride or out of fear of what others might think of you? Hans Christian Anderson's "The Emperor's New Suit" is a tale of an entire kingdom that ignores the obvious for fear of judgment, only to be called out by a child.

This story is a translation of a classic tale by Hans Christian Andersen. An emperor of a city is fond of new clothes. Two imposter weavers enter his city and tell him that they can create a suit for him that would be invisible to people who are unfit to hold their office or excessively simple. The emperor orders this suit to be made for him. The weavers pretend to weave this suit but in truth weave nothing at all and present this fake "invisible" suit to everyone in the city as if it really exists.

Hans Christian Andersen wrote many famous children's fairy tales in the 1800s that are still prominent today, such as "The Little Mermaid", "Thumbilina", and "The Ugly Duckling". This tale has multiple versions and translations among various authors and story collections.
