The Story of a Nutcracker

by Alexandre Dumas

Book Overview

The tale of the Nutcracker and the Mouse King was originally conceived in the early 1800s by German writer E.T.A. Hoffmann, but Alexandre Dumas "borrowed" the story and created his own sweetened version which in turn directly inspired the famous Tchaikovsky ballet. This charming new translation offers a family story that everyone can enjoy.
