Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
An exquisite gift edition of The Nutcracker captures the spirit of the Christmas ballet in elegant illustrations--and delivers a glorious pop-up finale.
The Nutcracker is one of the world's most popular ballets, telling the captivating story of Clara and the Nutcracker prince as they journey into a land of fantasy. Inspired by Marius Petipa's sets for the original production of the ballet, Niroot Puttapipat's delicate silhouette illustrations dance across pale, watercolor-washed backgrounds in a unique interpretation. Starkly beautiful, this keepsake edition evokes all the magic and anticipation of Christmas Eve as Clara and the prince waltz between worlds--and culminates in a 3-D spread bringing the dreamlike Land of Sweets to life.
"Based on texts by E.T. A. Hoffman and Alexandre Dumas and the original production of the ballet by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and Marius Petipa." -- copyright page
