The Story of the Nutcracker Coloring Book

The Story of the Nutcracker Coloring Book, adapted from the Story by E.T.A. Hoffmann, illustrated by Thea Kliros

A perennial favorite at Christmastime, this captivating story of a little girl's love for an enchanted nutcracker will delight youngsters (and the young at heart) the year round. Illustrator Thea Kliros captures the mood and charm of E.T.A. Hoffmann's beloved classic in her simplified, coloring-book version of the original story. Thirty-six ready-to-color line drawings need only a touch of color from crayons, felt-tip pens or colored pencils to bring a host of memorable characters and enchanting scenes vividly to life. Coloring-book enthusiasts can participate directly in the drama and fantasy of an engaging tale that imaginatively describes Christmas Eve at the Stahlbaum household, the arrival of eccentric Godpapa Drosselmeier, the presentation of the nutcracker, the battle between Nutcracker and the seven-headed King of the Mice, the adventures of Christmas Wood, Candytown and Marzipan Castle, and many other scenes. An abridged translation of Hoffmann's story "Nutcracker and the King of the Mice" has been prepared for this edition, retaining the character of the original while eschewing archaic words and phrasing.
