The Nutcracker and the Mouse King

by E.T.A Hoffman,
illustrated by Gail deMarcken

On Christmas Eve, Godfather Drosselmeier has arrived with gifts of marvel and enchantment for his young godchildren. Delicious dancing figurines, a wonder-tree, beautiful books, an enticing castle, and a handsome Nutcracker doll. Goddaughter Marie falls in love with this bewitching doll and claims him as her own. Yet when the clock strikes midnight, something terribly amazing happens to these and crafted toys…they come alive. Marie is swept off her feet on an incredible journey with her Nutcracker in this astonishing classic story by E. T. A. Hoffmann. Critically acclaimed artist Gail deMarcken’s stunning and gorgeous illustrations capture this spellbinding tale of adventure, honor, and family.
