About the Author:
Alison Jay is a graduate of the London College of Printing and the critically acclaimed illustrator of many books for children, including The Nutcracker, Welcome to the Zoo and Nursery Rhyme Rainbow.
From Booklist:
One of the loveliest picture books based on Hoffman’s story, which inspired the familiar ballet The Nutcracker, this volume offers lively illustrations and a concise, smoothly written version of the dreamlike tale. On Christmas Eve, Godfather Drosselmeyer presents Clara with a nutcracker soldier, but her brother breaks it. After she falls asleep, the Nutcracker comes to life and defeats the menacing Mouse King and his army. The Nutcracker, transformed into the Prince, takes Clara to a feast at his castle, where dancers entertain them. Clara awakens at home to find that the wooden nutcracker is now whole again. Painting in oils with a crackled varnish finish, Jay creates warm, opulent indoor settings and cool, beautiful outdoor scenes. The characters move through them with grace and elegance. A fine interpretation of this familiar tale. Grades K-3. --Carolyn Phelan
