An Old-Fashioned Christmas

An Old-Fashioned Christmas<br>Rochelle Pennington
 
Remember a time...

A time when every Christmas tree was real.

A time when Christmas shopping meant paging through a Sears & 
Roebuck catalog, and heading downtown to Main Street.

A time when Christmas dinner was prepared from canning jars lining 
the pantry shelves, and from fruits and vegetables grown in your 
own garden.

Christmas meant the arrival of Norman Rockwell paintings of Santa 
on the cover of The Saturday Evening Post, and hand-written 
letters addressed to the North Pole with wishes for record players, 
train sets and Raggedy Ann dolls.

An Old-Fashioned Christmas invites readers to re-live the memories 
that guide our hearts homeward to the much-loved traditions of 
yesteryear.

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. Written by ETA Hoffmann Translator Ralph Manheim Illustrated by Maurice Sendak Hardcover: 9-7/8 x 9-7/8 - 120 pages Published by Crown Publishing Group - 2012 USA > Penguin Random House Ages: 8-11 years ISBN 978-0385-3486-45
