Welcome to Absurdia: a strange and wonderful land where nothing is quite what it seems. Trees are birds, umbrellas are trees, and the sky is thick with snoring fish. Join one small boy as he tumbles out of bed into a crazy dreamland of wardrobe monsters, dragons - and amazing adventure.
With a story to enchant the youngest reader, as well as music and sound effects that will make you giggle, whatever your age, Chris Riddell's The Emperor of Absurdia is an extraordinary achievement and one to savour.
The Emperor of China has such a vivid dream of his true love, that he is able to describe her to an artist who paints her portrait. A courtier then takes the picture of the emperor’s dream girl, and goes out in search of her in the real world.
In "The Emperor's New Clothes," two weavers tell the emperor that they can make him a new suit of clothes that is invisible to people who are unfit for their positions or who are stupid or incompetent. Con men, the two weavers actually outfit the emperor in nothing, but will anyone be willing to tell the emperor that he is naked? As an idiom, the story's title refers to things that are accepted as common knowledge in spite of being obviously untrue.
Here's a marvellous tale by the famous Hans Christian Andersen, adapted by the renown producer Mike Bennett, about two cunning weavers who promise an emperor a beautiful set of clothes that they say appears invisible to those who are unfit for their positions, incompetent, or stupid. Voiced by the wonderful Anita Harris.
Anita Harris sang with the Cliff Adams Singers, and had a number of chart hits in the 60s. She also featured in the Carry On films "Follow That Camel" and "Carry On Doctor". So enjoy, what some regard as one of Anita's most wonderful vocal performances.
