Book Reviews of Nutcracker

Book Review: Exceptional Christmas Story
Summary: 5 Stars

E.T.A. Hoffmann's "Nutcracker" tells the classic story of a young girl's transformation from youth to adulthood. Maurice Sendak created the beautiful characters and artwork throughout this book, and he also designed the costumes and theatrical sets for the Pacific Ballet Company's version (available on VHS).

I highly recommend this book to young and old alike. It is a truly exceptional treasure to enjoy with friends and loved ones at this special time of year.
