Come primo libro dell’anno sicuramente un’ottima scelta. Non avevo idea che la storia originale si discostasse così tanto da quella propinataci da film e cartoni animati.
Seppur più realistica e meno avventurosa è stata sicuramente una lettura piacevole e soprattutto veloce.

I love the Nutcracker but this translation was pretty terrible, and very difficult to follow because of it. I couldn’t stop giggling about the chapter titled “Conclusion of the Tale of the Hard Nut” though.
The writing style. It kept jumping from 1st person to 3rd person.

The Nutcracker is such a magical yet vaguely sinister tale. It's so charming with the odd spot of creepy (and this creepy really comes out in the other two tales included in this volume: The Sandman, and The Mines at Falun). I'm so interested to see how this translates into a ballet with the different scenes of the book feeling like their own miniature fairy tales.
