Their mysterious uncle, Drosselmeyer the toy maker, gives Clara a beautiful wooden nutcracker who magically comes to life when the clock strikes midnight. So begins an enchanting adventure featuring all of Tchaikovsky’s original characters: the soldier mice, the Sugar Plum Fairy, and of course a handsome prince.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Nutcracker\u003c\/i\u003e is made all the more extraordinary by Patel’s intricate laser-cut illustrations. The book features four pop-up paperscopes that spring to life when the reader presses each paperscope down with their hand to reveal the scene hidden within. The effect is one of a magical series of stage sets, recalling the story’s origins as a ballet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShobhna Patel\u003c\/b\u003e is a British papercut artist, paper engineer, and illustrator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46553867452577,"sku":"BBSNIJ9780500651247","price":24.65,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9780500651247.jpg?v=1781746419","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/the-nutcracker-hardcover-by-shobhna-patel","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
