Les habits neufs de l'empereur
Les habits neufs de l'empereur

Un grand classique des contes d'Andersen : dans une contrée lointaine règne un empereur qui ne pense qu'à sa garde-robe, seul l’intéressent de nouveaux et somptueux habits. Alors quand se présentent deux tailleurs étrangers qui lui promettent les plus beaux vêtements et surtout les plus magiques, il n'hésite pas. La supercherie va prendre une ampleur incroyable jusqu'à ce que la voix d’un enfant remarque tout haut ce que l’ensemble du peuple pensait tout bas.
