The Nutcracker
ETA Hoffmann / An Leysen
It is Christmas Eve and Clara with her brother Fritz are excited!
Every year uncle Drosselmeyer brings them special Christmas gifts.
This year Clara gets a wooden soldier. It's a nutcracker and Fritz

kind eyes. And that night she discovers her new friend can do a lot
more than crack nuts. He used to be a brave soldier who fell in love
with a real princess!

story by E.T.A. Hoffmann a new look. Her evocative art will transport

The Art & Character of Nutcrackers
An Addendum
This book is a supplement to The Art & Characters of NUTCRACKERS
published in 2005. It pictures specimens and makers not included in the
first book, those since added to the museum, and others on loan from
private collectors.
This is not a scientific book, but simply a picture book of interesting
and unusual nutcrackers for fellow collectors to enjoy.
Beautifully photographed, rare, and valuable, these nutcrackers from
around the world are collected and celebrated in one place for the first
time ever.

Nativities of the World
by Susan Topp Weber
This book includes photographs of over ninety-six nativities
from all over the world. Each nativities is shown in full
color, with supporting text by Susan Topp Weber. The appendix
lists where collections of nativities can be seen in the
United States and Europe.
The nativities that appear in Weber's book have never been
published. Their materials range from wheat straw
(Bangladesh) to wrought iron (Ecuador) to churro wool
(Navajo) to felt (Kazakhstan) to stone (Peru). An Australian
version features native animals, such as kangaroos.
A Slovakian artist created a nativity from corn husks. A
Czech fiber artist wove the Holy Family from bobbin lace. An
Irish knitter stitched the stable scene in wool. An Hawaiian
artist made the shelter from a coconut; the star above it is
a tiny starfish.
Susan began collecting in 1965 and has sold nativities since
1978 in her Santa Fe shop, Susan's Christmas Shop.
