Overall, a wonderful copy of this beautifully illustrated book. Originally published in 1816 and titled "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King," this classic Christmas story opens on Christmas Eve, when a young girl named Marie is gifted a nutcracker with a broken jaw. Later that night, when Marie is alone with the nutcracker, he comes alive and fends off a horde of mice led by the Mouse King. Eventually, through Marie's love, the nutcracker is transformed back into a human, and the two marry and travel to the doll kingdom. An 1844 retelling of the story by Alexandre Dumas (author of The Three Musketeers), was used as the basis of Tchaikovsky's masterful holiday ballet, The Nutcracker. For this edition, Sendak based his illustrations on the Pacific Northwest Ballet's successful production of The Nutcracker, which he designed sets and costumes for. The production premiered in 1983 and emphasized some of the weirder elements of Hoffmann's story. Inscribed by Illustrator.

First Edition, First Printing. Boldly SIGNED by Sendak on the half-title page, dated Nov. 29, '84, the same month of the book's release.

Color pictorial dust jacket, unclipped, with light wear along edges and front turn. Illustrated endpapers. Internally clean and bright. Fine in a Near Fine dust jacket. A beautifully illustrated book by one of the most beloved children's illustrators of our time. In 1983, the year prior to this book's publication, Sendak was asked to design the costumes for the Pacific Northwest Ballet's production of the Nutcracker. The New York Times Book Review (Nov. 11, 1984) states, "Some of Mr. Sendak's illustrations are adaptations of sketches for the Seattle production, but many have been done especially for the book. Necessarily, the manners are different, but the dissonance is not disturbing in the least. The pictures are evocative, Hoffmanesque, and appropriately scary." and "Indeed, illustrations is too modest a term: these pictures are part of the essences of 'Nutcracker,' not just dressing." Hanrahan A119.
