Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" (German: "Nussknacker und Mausekönig") is a story written in 1816 by E. T. A. Hoffmann in which young Clara Stahlbaum''s favorite Christmas toy, the Nutcracker, comes alive and, after defeating the evil Mouse King in battle, whisks her away to a magical kingdom populated by dolls. In 1892, the Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and choreographers Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov turned the story (Alexandre Dumas père''s adapted version) into the ballet The Nutcracker, which became one of Tchaikovsky''s most famous compositions, and one of the most popular ballets in the world. The story begins on Christmas Eve at the Stahlbaum house. Marie, twelve years old, and her brother Fritz, eight, sit outside the parlor speculating about what kind of present their godfather Drosselmeyer, who is a clockmaker and inventor, has made for them. They are at last allowed into the parlor, where they receive many splendid gifts, including Drosselmeyer''s, which turns out to be a clockwork castle with mechanical people moving about inside it."
