E.T.A Hoffman

The Nutcracker

Hoffmann’s classic Christmas fairy tale, immortalised by Tchaikovsky’s ballet, is a classic Christmas story brought to life by the contemporary artwork of renowned Finnish illustrator, Sanna Annuka. On Christmas Eve, Fritz and Marie await the arrival of Godfather Drosselmeier and the marvellous gifts he brings them every year. When Marie discovers a curious nutcracker doll among the presents, she suddenly finds herself transported into a magical world of sugar-frosted castles, chocolate kings, and true love. This cloth-bound edition fuses the charm of Hoffmann’s original nineteenth-century tale with the freshness of Sanna Annuka’s gorgeous illustrations. The ultimate festive treat!
