DUMAS ALEXANDRE THE TALE OF THE NUTCRACKER

Puffin Clothbound Classics are stunning collectable hardback editions of some of the best-loved
classics in the world - including this charming edition of The Tale of the Nutcracker.  Enter a
world of magic and enchantment with Dumas's timeless adaptation of the Nutcracker story.   'You
foolish child  how can you imagine that this doll  which is composed of wood and cloth  can
have life  motion and reflection?'   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.
