Description

The Nutcracker and Mouse King and The Tale of the Nutcracker presents two early versions of a beloved Christmas story. In E.T.A. Hoffmann's 1816 tale, a young girl is transported to a magical land where she helps her nutcracker defeat a fearsome mouse king. Alexandre Dumas's 1845 adaptation offers a fresh interpretation of this enchanting story. These stories of magic and childhood adventure are full of mystery and wonder. With their origins rooted in the early days of Christmas celebrations, they remain irresistible to a broad range of readers. Penguin Classics brings these stories to life with new translations that will appeal to readers. For over seventy years, Penguin has been a leading publisher of classic literature, offering authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors.
