Meet the Emperor, who vainly prefers to be the height of fashion instead of tending to his responsibilities as a ruler. And what glorious fashion it is! Despite the challenges of his unusual shape, dressmakers manage to make the Emperor's trousers, jackets, and robes a storybook in themselves.

Pore through the lavishly detailed pictures and enjoy the irrepressible good humor of imagining life at Versailles if dinosaurs, not people, had been France's ruling class.
