The Nutcracker and the Mouse King

G&P PUBLISHING OFFICE

ETA Hoffmann's "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" has been for many generations one of the most widely read classic children's novels, although it was written almost 200 years ago. Maintained in a fairy-tale atmosphere full of fantastic events, it tells about the girl's amazing adventures, how her toys come to life, and the Nutcracker becomes the prince of their land, about the blood-chilling battle with the Mouse King, and about the ungrateful princess Pirlipatka ... And all this happens in the amazing scenery. The novel reads brilliantly in a new literary arrangement by Błażej Kusztelski, based on an old, tried-and-tested translation by Józef Kramszytek.

Thanks to the contemporary style and language, the fairy tale becomes closer to the child's sensitivity and preferences. We recommend this edition as the best Polish edition of this novel to date, in addition enriched with beautiful illustrations by JAN MARCIN SZANCER .
