The Nutcracker (Hardcover) Retold by John Cech

What a special Christmas gift this will be: the beloved holiday fantasy beautifully retold by John Cech (author of the Classic Fairy Tale series) and illustrated by Eric Puybaret, whose imaginative art helped turn Puff, the Magic Dragon into a blockbuster.

Cech bases his version on E.T.A. Hoffmans original, which features not only the story familiar to all ballet lovers, but other wondrous adventures - including the tale of Princess Pirlipat and an explanation of the origins of the Nutcracker himself. Lavishly and elegantly packaged, this belongs under every childs tree.
