Erica Johns
This is a story from the Andersen's Fairy Tales collection.
The world of Hans Christian Andersen is seen through the eyes of children. There is the everyday wonder of an ugly duckling being transformed into a swan; the puffed-up Emperor being fooled by his own importance; the tender tragedy of a little match girl; the upright honesty of John rewarded by his traveling companion. By bringing true feelings to these stories, Andersen's tales have become part of universal folklore.

Danish storyteller Hans Christian Anderson gently and amusingly makes fun of a king (and everyone else) whose pride gets in the way of his common sense. Conveying warmth and affections for her young and older listeners, Erica Johns performs a classic tale that has thrilled audiences for generations of an innocent child proving himself most intelligent of all a town’s citizens by shouting out what they all saw but feared to admit. This performance of The Emperor’s New Clothes is also a selection from the Andersen’s Fairy Tales collection.
