Vain Emperor commissions Anansi Spider for dazzling "dan dan" robes visible only to the wise, fooling fawning fools into feigned finery praise. Parading in pants-less pomp, his strut stalls at children's candid call-out, unraveling the ruse with rhyme and righteous ribbing. Forsyth's funky flair fizzes Agard's Anansi-infused satire, a Caribbean twist on Andersen's classic crooning truth's triumphant tease.
