A lush, gorgeously illustrated reissue of the holiday classic Nutcracker, brought alive by the wildly imaginative drawings of Maurice Sendak, the premier children's book illustrator of our time. "A classic, new and complete. One of the ten best illustrated children's books of the year."--New York Times Book Review The tale of Nutcracker, written by E. T. A. Hoffmann in 1816, has fascinated and inspired artists, composers, and audiences for centuries, retaining its freshness by evoking the sense of wonder we all share. The legendary Maurice Sendak designed brilliant sets and costumes for the Pacific Northwest Ballet's Christmas production of Nutcracker, and brought that same extraordinary vision and creativity to the magnificent pictures displayed here. He joined with the eminent translator Ralph Manheim to produce this beautifully illustrated edition of Hoffmann's wonderful tale, destined to become a classic for all ages. The world of Nutcracker is one of whimsy and delight. Sendak's timeless, haunting, and enthralling art illuminates the delights of Hoffmann's story in this rich and tantalizing treasure.…
