The Classic Story That Inspired the Beloved Ballet—Now Restored for Modern Readers
$1.16

About the book

Before the ballet, there was the book—and it's more magical and mysterious than you ever imagined.


The Nutcracker and the Mouse King by E. T. A. Hoffmann is the enchanting tale of young Marie Stahlbaum, who receives a wooden nutcracker as a Christmas gift—only to discover it holds the key to a fantastical world of toy soldiers, clockwork wonders, and an epic battle against the wicked Mouse King.


Far darker and richer than its ballet adaptation, Hoffmann's original 1816 tale blends whimsy with gothic wonder, capturing both the innocence of childhood and the surreal fears that live in the imagination.


This illustrated and annotated edition includes historical context, restored narrative details, and charming period artwork—ideal for readers of all ages during the holiday season or any time of year.


"The original Nutcracker is a dreamlike fairytale with shadows and sparkles." – The New York Review of Books

"A masterpiece of romantic fantasy—strange, beautiful, and unforgettable." – The Guardian
