After all the presents are opened on Christmas Eve, young Marie Stahlbaum finds one more--the enchanted Nutcracker. Readers of Hoffman's classic Christmas tale, which inspired Tchaikovsky's ballet, will be pleasantly surprised by this fabuous new edition. Innocenti's detailed and complex illustrations interpret the 19th-century story from brilliant new perspectives. Full-color illustrations.
Readers of all ages will be enchanted by the stories within stories that are as intricate as the toys constructed by Godfather Drosselmeir in this famous Christmas story. Award-winning artist Roberto Innocenti's illustrations are equally resplendent and complex.
