A ache that greater palpable and tangible within the autobiographical worlds of Andersen's Snow Queen and Tin Soldier than within the worlds of Cinderella and Snow White assembled by the Grimms, however created by way of others.

Book excerpt: This is an annotated version of the book1. contains an updated biography of the author at the end of the book for a better understanding of the text.2. This book has been checked and corrected for spelling errorsMany years ago, there was an Emperor, who was so excessively fond ofnew clothes, that he spent all his money in dress. He did not troublehimself in the least about his soldiers; nor did he care to go either tothe theatre or the chase, except for the opportunities then afforded himfor displaying his new clothes. He had a different suit for each hour ofthe 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 issitting in his wardrobe."Time passed merrily in the large town which was his capital; strangersarrived every day at the court. One day, two rogues, calling themselvesweavers, made their appearance. They gave out that they knew how toweave stuffs of the most beautiful colors and elaborate patterns, theclothes manufactured from which should have the wonderful property ofremaining invisible to everyone who was unfit for the office he held, orwho was extraordinarily simple in character."These must, indeed, be splendid clothes!" thought the Emperor. "Had Isuch a suit, I might at once find out what men in my realms are unfitfor their office, and also be able to distinguish the wise from thefoolish! This stuff must be woven for me immediately." And he causedlarge sums of money to be given to both the weavers in order that theymight begin their work directly.So the two pretended weavers set up two looms, and affected to work verybusily, though in reality they did nothing at all. They asked for themost delicate silk and the purest gold thread; put both into their ownknapsacks; and then continued their pretended work at the empty loomsuntil late at night."I should like to know how the weavers are getting on with my cloth," said the Emperor to himself, after some little time had elapsed; he was,however, rather embarrassed, when he remembered that a simpleton, orone unfit for his office, would be unable to see the manufacture. To besure, he thought he had nothing to risk in his own person; but yet, hewould prefer sending somebody else, to bring him intelligence about theweavers, and their work, before he troubled himself in the affair. Allthe people throughout the city had heard of the wonderful property thecloth was to possess; and all were anxious to learn how wise, or howignorant, their neighbors might prove to be."I will send my faithful old minister to the weavers," said the Emperorat last, after some deliberation, "he will be best able to see how thecloth looks; for he is a man of sense, and no one can be more suitablefor his office than he is."So the faithful old minister went into the hall, where the knaves wereworking with all their might, at their empty looms. "What can be themeaning of this?" thought the old man, opening his eyes very wide. "Icannot discover the least bit of thread on the looms." However, he didnot express his thoughts aloud.The impostors requested him very courteously to be so good as to comenearer their looms; and then asked him whether the design pleasedhim, and whether the colors were not very beautiful; at the same timepointing to the empty frames. The poor old minister looked and looked,he could not discover anything on the looms, for a very good reason,viz: there was nothing there. "What!" thought he again. "Is it possiblethat I am a simpleton? I have never thought so myself; and no one mustknow it now if I am so. Can it be, that I am unfit for my office? No,that must not be said either. I will never confess that I could not seethe stuff.""Well, Sir Minister!" said one of the knaves, still pretending to work."You do not say whether the stuff pleases you."
