About this listen

E.T.A. Hoffmann's The Nutcracker and the Mouse King is one of the most beloved children's stories of all time and a Christmas classic. The story is the basis for the most popular ballet in the world, Pyotr Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker." In the story, a young girl named Marie is given a precious nutcracker as a Christmas present by her godfather, the enigmatic Drosselmeier. When the nutcracker is broken, Marie attempts to repair it and stays up late to tend to her new toy, but when the nursery is invaded by an army of mice — led by the seven-headed Mouse King — the nutcracker comes to life to both drive off the mice and escort Marie to a magical land of living dolls.

One of the most beloved Christmas stories of all time, The Nutcracker and the Mouse King is presented here in its original and unabridged format, as translated from the German by Mrs. St. Simon and narrated by renowned audiobook performer Sara Nichols.
