The Nutcracker and the Mouse King

Book • 2016
The story follows Marie, a young girl who receives a nutcracker doll on Christmas Eve. As the night unfolds, the nutcracker comes to life and leads an army of toys against the seven-headed Mouse King.

The tale involves a magical world, curses, and the ultimate triumph of the nutcracker with Marie's help.

Natalie Andrewson's adaptation retains the dark and fantastical elements of Hoffmann's original while adding a modern and illustrative twist.
