The Nutcracker book is the story behind the ballet, and this red bonded leather edition makes a lasting Christmas gift for anyone who counts down to recital season. Hand it over after a December performance or set it beside the tree for a Nutcracker themed party.
The red bonded leather cover is plain and polished, with the title and E. T. A. Hoffmann's name stamped in gold. Inside, grey endpapers of snowy branches open onto framed text pages, chapter headings like Christmas Eve, a red cardinal on the inside cover, and a bookplate ready for a holiday inscription. A satin bookmark keeps the place between readings.
How long is it? This edition runs 128 pages, a chapter book length better suited to older kids, teens, and adults than a quick picture book read.
Perfect for: Nutcracker ballet gifts, dance recital gifts, Nutcracker Christmas parties, Christmas stocking gifts for older kids, holiday book club picks, and classic Christmas books.
