Information about this book

Description

When little Marie receives a rather ugly doll for Christmas, she isn’t sure what to make of him. His head is far too large, his legs far too small; but he’s certainly excellently dressed! Things take a strange turn on Christmas Eve when, as the clocks strike midnight, the odd little Nutcracker comes to life to do fierce battle against the malevolent Mouse King and his armies.

Full of wonder, weirdness and fantasy, this famous adaptation, which inspired Tchaikovsky’s beloved ballet, is a celebration of childhood imagination, full of talking toys, candy kingdoms and dastardly mice.
