Review: This is such a great book, my toddler loves it very much. He can press the notes by himself now (the notes are a bit difficult to press), and remembers what note to press for his favourite tune. We haven't got to reading the story yet, so I can't comment on how engaging it is.

Review: The outer is perfect. Did not like the illustrations of the text. Kept because it was the only Nutcracker book k could find but the text is boring for older kids and too complex for younger ones. Not the best sound book as pieces are very short

  • Waterstones The Nutcracker and the Mouse King

    Price: £4.99

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: The Nutcracker and the Mouse King (1816) is a story by E.T.A. Hoffmann. A leading writer of the German Romantic period, Hoffmann inspired generations of artists with his thrilling blend of fantasy, science fiction, and fairy tale. In 1892, Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky turned Alexandre Dumas' adaptation of The Nutcracker and the Mouse King into The Nutcracker, which remains one of the most popular ballets of all time. On Christmas Eve, Fritz and Marie anxiously await the presentation of gifts. Initially awed by the clockwork castle made by their godfather Drosselmeyer, a famous inventor, they soon turn their attentions to a nutcracker. When Fritz accidentally breaks their new toy, Marie carefully bandages its jaw back into place. That night, while the whole house sleeps, Marie is awoken by the chiming of the grandfather clock. Terrified, she watches as a battle is waged between a horde of mice | ??led by a seven-headed king | ??and the toys, suddenly brought to life, led by the noble nutcracker. The next morning, she attempts to inform her parents of what she has seen, but they refuse to believe her. All remains quiet for the next several days, but when Drosselmeyer returns with the mended nutcracker, he tells her a story of the vengeful Mouse Queen. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of E.T.A. Hoffmann's The Nutcracker and the Mouse King is a classic of German literature reimagined for modern readers.
