Nutcracker by E T A Hoffmann - Pictures by Maurice Sendak 1st UK Hardcover with Dust Jacket Edition 1984

Written by E.T.A. Hoffmann; translated by Ralph Manheim; illustrated and with an introduction by Maurice Sendak. In Nutcracker, the premier children's book illustrator of our time adds his own magic to a story that has long enchanted children and grown-ups alike. Maurice Sendak created this illustrated version of Hoffmann's wonderful tale, basing his illustrations on the sets and costumes he designed for a dance production staged by the Pacific Northwest Ballet (you can find the VHS of this ballet under item number 196302742856).

Good to very good condition with wear & discolouration as shown. Bindings are intact & tight. Illustrated original unclipped dust jacket with bright and clear cover artwork. Shelf wear to the corners and edges. Photographs are of the actual listed book you will receive. The condition of recycled books is often subjective to individuals and occasionally small marks or issues may be missed. I provide plenty of quality photos because they say a picture paints a thousand words. Please check these photos carefully as they form part of this description and can describe this item far better than any blurb I might write.
