Description
When Uncle Drosselmier arrives at Marie and Fritz's house on Christmas Eve the children are in great expectation of the presents he will have brought. This year, his gift is very unusual - a nutcracker - of no particular significance to anyone but the Mouseking, who is watching from a distance.
This enchanting hard-back publication tells the wonderful story of The Nutcracker, complete with a gentle accompanying CD featuring narration and excerpts from Tchaikovsky's classical symphony. The book is full of lavish illustrations, and the CD will not only enhance the enjoyment of this magical tale, but also provide the perfect introduction for children to the wonders of classical music.
