Synopsis
Marie is a romantic child who longs for a friend. When she receives a nutcracker for Christmas, she is immediately captivated by its sorrowful eyes. Her passion for the ugly toy becomes the inspiration for a series of strange and unsettling events that end with loss and heartbreak...but who should be waiting downstairs? Set against a Victorian backdrop of sumptuous detail, Margrete Lamond's retelling of Hoffman's classic tale focuses on the heart-rending essentials of the original story, while Ritva Voutila's lavish paintings conjure up the magic, wonder and wildness of childhood imagination. The Nutcracker is a tale that both astonishes and reassures, and is a classic treasure for all ages and every bookshelf.
