(3) K-3 Translated by Rosemary Lanning. A foppish emperor and most of his subjects are tricked by smooth-talking weavers who swear they make the most exquisite cloth in the world. The text is simply told, and the details of an imaginary eighteenth-century European court (including the vain emperor with his frizzy red hair, his coyly discreet pantaloons, and his little flea-bitten dog) will leave readers chuckling.
