SynopsisThe magic of Tchaikovsky's ballet The Nutcracker comes to life in this theatrical pop-up book created by papercut artist Shobhna Patel, whose delicate laser-cut pop-ups will enchant readers young and old. Patel has invented a new paper-engineering technique called the "paperscope," which is used for the first time in this charming book. The classic story begins on Christmas Eve when a little girl named Clara and her brother Fritz are gathered around the Christmas tree to celebrate with family and friends. 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. The Nutcracker 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., An exquisite retelling of Tchaikovsky's ballet using an entirely new pop-up technique featuring dazzling laser-cut illustrations, When the clock strikes midnight, Clara's nutcracker toy takes her on a magical journey. Mice become soldiers, candy canes transform into dancers and an enchanted castle emerges out of the mist. In this exquisitely crafted book inspired by Tchaikovsky's ballet, familiar scenes are brought to life by Shobhna Patel's intricate lasercut pop-up illustrations.
