Known by many names from, The Story of a Nutcracker to The Nutcracker of Nuremberg―Alexandre Dumas’ The History of a Nutcracker is both a translation and slight retelling of E.T.A. Hoffman’s 1816 novella, The Nutcracker and the Mouse King. In keeping with the themes of the original story, The History of a Nutcracker tells the tale of a litte girl named Marie and her Christmas toy. Gifted a magical nutcracker on Christmas, Marie watches as the titular Nutcracker goes forth to defeat the evil Mouse King and is then swept away to the fantastical kingdom of dolls. Shifting away from Hoffman’s darker elements, Dumas’ version of events lend themselves to a whimsical adventure more suitable for younger readers and was the inspiration for Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s 1892 ballet, The Nutcracker. Professionally typset with a beautifully designed cover, this edition of The History of a Nutcracker is a classic children’s fantasy reimagined for modern readers.

About the Author
Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870), one of the most universally read French authors, is best known for his extravagantly adventurous historical novels. As a young man, Dumas emerged as a successful playwright and had considerable involvement in the Parisian theater scene. It was his swashbuckling historical novels that brought worldwide fame to Dumas. Among his most loved works are The Three Musketeers (1844), and The Count of Monte Cristo (1846). He wrote more than 250 books, both Fiction and Non-Fiction, during his lifetime.
