This elegant hardback edition with gilded page edges presents the
beloved Christmas tale of The Nutcracker.
In this enchanting tale, the nutcracker doll that Marie gets for
Christmas is no ordinary toy. As the clocks strike midnight on Christmas
Eve, it comes to life! The Nutcracker must fight the Mouse King and his
armies with the help of an entire cabinet of Marie's playthings. He then
whisks Marie away to a magical kingdom populated by dolls.
This fantastical fairy tale is a timeless classic of the Christmas
season. It was later adapted by the prolific French author, Alexandre
Dumas, and went on to inspire Tchaikovsky's world-famous ballet The
Nutcracker.
This delightful edition features a silver embossed cover design, gilded
page edges and beautiful pen and ink illustrations, making it a
wonderful gift for the festive season.
