and perspectives. The opening of the collection begins with a warm preface addressed to children, expressing a desire for them to enjoy reading these fairy tales after completing their studies and duties. The translator, Vikelas, hopes to inspire young readers to appreciate literature that is both entertaining and educational. The first tale, "The Emperor's New Clothes," introduces a vain king obsessed with fashion, who is deceived by two con men claiming to weave a magical fabric that only the wise can see. As the story unfolds, the king’s pride leads him to don "invisible" clothes, which culminates in the revelation of his nakedness by a child, serving as a poignant commentary on pride and self-deception.
