The Nutcracker
ETA Hoffmann / Maurice Sendak
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. Illustrations in Detail
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.
