Retold by Rita Balducci and illustrated by Barbara Lanza, this title is part of the beloved Little Golden Books line, adapting E.T.A. Hoffmann's original 1816 story (by way of Tchaikovsky's famous 1892 ballet) into a gentle picture-book format for young children.
A charming gift for a young ballet or holiday fan building their book collection.
Little Golden Books launched in 1942 as a joint venture between Simon & Schuster, the Artists and Writers Guild, and Western Printing & Lithographing Company, selling sturdy, affordable picture books for 25 cents — a line that would go on to include hundreds of adaptations of classic stories and ballets, introducing generations of children to works like The Nutcracker long before they ever saw a stage production.
