The Tale of the Nutcracker – Puffin Clothbound Classics is a beautifully crafted hardback edition of Alexandre Dumas’s magical retelling, inviting readers into the strange, enchanting world that inspired Tchaikovsky’s beloved ballet.
When little Marie receives a peculiar, rather ugly doll for Christmas, she hardly knows what to think. With his oversized head, tiny legs and elegant outfit, the Nutcracker seems an odd gift — until midnight strikes. As the house falls quiet, the Nutcracker springs to life to wage a fierce battle against the wicked Mouse King and his army. What follows is a journey filled with wonder, talking toys, candy kingdoms and fantastical creatures, capturing the boundless imagination of childhood. Presented as a stunning Puffin Clothbound Classic, this edition is a timeless keepsake for readers young and old.
