Hoffmann's "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King," published in 1816, transformed a wooden toy from a small Saxon town into the hero of one of the most beloved Christmas tales. The story's popularity inspired composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky and choreographer Lev Ivanov to stage it in 1892—criticized by the press, but highly praised by Nicholas II.

On Christmas Eve, Marie receives the Nutcracker. Everyone laughs at him, but the girl rises to his defense. She doesn't yet know that he is an enchanted boy. Only defeating the Mouse King and Marie's love will restore him to his true form.

The book also includes the fairy tale "The Golden Pot."
