false 506128 8 <B>The original stories behind everyone's favorite Christmas ballet</B> <BR><BR> It wasn't until the 1950s that seeing <I>The Nutcracker</I> at Christmastime became an American tradition. But the story itself is much older and its original intent more complex. This eye-opening new volume presents two of the tale's earliest versions, both in new translations: E.T.A. Hoffmann's <I>Nutcracker and Mouse King</I> (1816), in which a young girl is whisked away to the Land of Toys to help her animated nutcracker defeat the Mouse King, and Alexandre Dumas's 1845 adaptation, <I>The Tale of the Nutcracker</I>, based on Hoffmann's popular work. Irresistible tales of magic, mystery, and childhood adventure, these timeless delights and fresh interpretations about the importance of imagination will captivate readers of all ages. 494166 1993 Nutcracker and Mouse King and The Tale of the Nutcracker total:22|5:3|4:9|3:9|2:1|1:0| 22 80 45 3 506128 0143104837 9780143104834 18 2 3.64 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/506128.Nutcracker_and_Mouse_King_and_The_Tale_of_the_Nutcracker 3 0 false Thu Jan 08 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 07 12:10:13 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 08 06:56:04 -0800 2009
