The tale of Nutcracker, written by E.T.A. Hoffmann in
1816, has fascinated and inspired artists, composers, and
audiences for almost two hundred years. It has retained its
freshness because it appeals to the sense of wonder we all
share. Maurice Sendak designed brilliant sets and costumes for the
Pacific Northwest Ballet's Christmas production of
Nutcracker and created even more magnificent pictures
especially for this book. He joined with the eminent
translator Ralph Manheim to produce this illustrated edition
of Hoffmann's wonderful tale, destined to become a classic
for all ages. The world of Nutcracker is a world of pleasures. Maurice
Sendak's art illuminates the delights of Hoffmann's story in
this rich and tantalizing treasure.
