Luin kirjan suomeksi, painos oli vuodelta 1918. Teos oli hauskan kuuloista suomen kieltä ja tarinan mielikuvitusmaailma satumainen, ymmärrän varsin hyvin miksi siitä on tehty upeaakin upea baletti.

Un racconto di Natale senza tempo, famoso per avere ispirato a Tchaikovsky le musiche per uno dei balletti più famosi al mondo. Una favola dal sapore magico e piena di spirito natalizio.

Quite a lovely read, which occasionally reminded me of Alice in Wonderland.

I was hit with the strong urge to know the story of the nutcracker the other day. I sat through a bad recording of the very stunning ballet and knew a lot was missing... so then I scrambled and scrounged together this book, desperate for answers.

This book reads easily despite being written in the 1800s. The world is whimsical and vivid. There's pacing issues, but honestly that comes with the territory. I still have questions but at the end of the day, this was the vivid and strange story I hoped it would be
