E T A HOFFMANN's The Nutcracker and the Mouse King may be familiar to many, having served as the inspiration for Tchaikovsky's famous ballet. However, the ballet was based on a French retelling of the story and Hoffmann's German original is rarely translated in its entirety. This edition displays the full range of the author's quirky power of invention. Inside is a new translation by the eminent translator ANTHEA BELL of the complete German classic, together with another lesser-known tale, The Strange Child, in which a young brother and sister meet an unusual playmate in the woods and have to deal with a sinister new schoolmaster. Deliciously dark, endlessly imaginative and funny, Hoffmann's stories still enthrall children and adults alike to this day.
