Enter a world of magic and enchantment with Dumas's timeless adaptation of the Nutcracker story.
"You foolish child, how can you imagine that this doll, which is composed of wood and cloth, can have life, motion and reflection?"
When little Marie receives a rather ugly doll for Christmas, she isn't sure what to make of him. His head is far too large, his legs far too small; but he's certainly excellently dressed! Things take a strange tum on Christmas Eve when, as the clocks strike midnight, the odd little Nutcracker cornes to life to do fierce battle against the malevolent Mouse King and his armies.
Full of wonder, weirdness and fantasy, this famous adaptation, which inspired Tchaikovsky's beloved ballet, is a celebration of childhood imagination, full of talking toys, candy kingdoms and dastardly mice.
Alexandre Dumas was a French playwright, historian and prolific novelist, penning a string of successful books including The Three Musketeers (1844), The Count of Monte Cristo (1845), and Twenty Years After(1845). His novels have been translated into a hundred different languages and inspired over two hundred films. In his day Dumas was as famous for his financial iresponsibility and flamboyant lifestyle as for his writing. Dumas died in 1870.
