The Nutcracker
ETA Hoffmann / Maurice Sendak
The tale of Nutcracker, written by E.T.A.
Hoffmann in 1816, has fascinated and inspired
artists, composers, and audiences for almost
two hundred years. It has retained its
freshness because it appeals to the sense of
wonder we all share.
Maurice Sendak designed brilliant sets and
costumes for the Pacific Northwest Ballets
Christmas production of Nutcracker and
created even more magnificent pictures
especially for this book. He joined with the
eminent translator Ralph Manheim to produce
this illustrated edition of Hoffmanns
wonderful tale, destined to become a classic
for all ages. Illustrations in Detail
The world of Nutcracker is a world of
pleasures. Maurice Sendaks art illuminates
the delights of Hoffmanns story in this rich
and tantalizing treasure.

FW-NAT-STW
Nativities of the World
by Susan Topp Weber
This book includes photographs of over ninety-six nativities
from all over the world. Each nativities is shown in full
color, with supporting text by Susan Topp Weber. The appendix
lists where collections of nativities can be seen in the
United States and Europe.
The nativities that appear in Weber's book have never been
published. Their materials range from wheat straw
(Bangladesh) to wrought iron (Ecuador) to churro wool
(Navajo) to felt (Kazakhstan) to stone (Peru). An Australian
version features native animals, such as kangaroos.
A Slovakian artist created a nativity from corn husks. A
Czech fiber artist wove the Holy Family from bobbin lace. An
Irish knitter stitched the stable scene in wool. An Hawaiian
artist made the shelter from a coconut; the star above it is
a tiny starfish.
Susan began collecting in 1965 and has sold nativities since
1978 in her Santa Fe shop, Susan's Christmas Shop.
