Una historia linda, contada de tal manera que uno se pierde en cuál es cuento dentro del cuento, distinguirlos al inicio es un lío pero no entorpece la lectura.
Lo curioso que se vuelve un regalo y lo especial que al final se puede convertir, es lo que me gusto; otro punto es que no es santa a los ojos de los niños, son sus padres y lo saben pero le introducen un toque mágico a sus creencias para que esa magia de revivir regalos navideños no se pierda.

While The nutcracker is one of the world most popular ballet the original story that inspired Tchaikovsky's 20-minute suite is much less known. And it's a great pity because E.T.A. Hoffmann's The Nutcracker and the Mouse King is such a wonderful children Christmas tale. The story is magical and really breath the Christmas spirit even thought it can also be a bit creepy at times.

I really enjoyed this story! I've seen movies versions before, but it's been years. So it was really nice to have the original story to read.
I love nutcrackers! My BF gave me the Mouse King nutcracker for Christmas this year. They are one of my favorite things about this time of year

"If you love something very much, it is always alive."
I liked it as a children's story. Minus the 'christmas' part.

Unexpectedly loved this. Such a weird, charming little story. And the ballet makes more sense now!
