Nussknacker und Mausekönig by E.T.A. Hoffmann

Such a whimsical, magical Christmas story, which I enjoyed a lot especially the description of the candy land at the end. However I disliked the horroresque/creepy aspects of the story. I mean a sevenheaded mouse threatening to chew up a little girl. Gotta say that’s kinda terrifying. Also why are adults so cruel? They belittle the protagonist, Marie, and talk down to her like all the time.
