Synopsis:
What a special Christmas gift this will be: the beloved holiday fantasy beautifully retold by John Cech (author of the Classic Fairy Tale series) and illustrated by Eric Puybaret, whose imaginative art helped turn Puff, the Magic Dragon into a blockbuster. Cech bases his version on E.T.A. Hoffmans original, which features not only the story familiar to all ballet lovers, but other wondrous adventures - including the tale of Princess Pirlipat and an explanation of the origins of the Nutcracker himself. Lavishly and elegantly packaged, this belongs under every childs tree.
About the Author: John Cech writes plays, poetry and fiction for both children and adults and is a Professor of English at the University of Florida in Gainesville. He was also President of the Childrens Literature Association and won the Chandler Award of Merit for his work in Childrens Literature. Eric Puybaret was born in France and graduated from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. His first book in English was 'Puff, the Magic Dragon', by Peter Yarrow and Lenny Lipton.
