Drosselmeyer's Dream Marian H Rowe

The Vintage Christmas edition features the complete illustrations in black-and-white on cream paper. Young Drosselmeyer arrives at his uncle's Christmas Party with a gift for his cousin Clara: a beautiful nutcracker. Little does he know that trapped inside is a mysterious prince, who longs to return to his kingdom and face his arch-nemesis, the North King. When Clara disappears, Drosselmeyer sets off to rescue her, but soon he is caught up in the Nutcracker's quest to save his homeland and break the curse. Inspired by Tchaikovsky's ballet, Drosselmeyer's Dream is a Nutcracker retelling for fans of medieval fantasy and old-fashioned fairy tales.
