pick#DashingThruDecember Day 22: This #Nutcracker board book is a delight. This dance primer is not only a celebration of classic ballet, it also highlights the many colours, the diversity of dance and its infinite variations. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-j34
My English 🇬🇧 themed #Nutcracker collection. My medieval Queen is my favorite. #DashingthruDecember

“Silly child, how can you imagine that this wooden doll from Nuremberg is really alive and capable of moving about?"

pickAfter 🩰 exam rehearsal on Sun I did over Vinnies. Grand total🟰 $23. The 📕 includes a gorgeous pop up. Afterwards I went to the Veteran‘s markets but every1 was packing up so I didn‘t come away with anything. I usually come away with lots. I walked home picking up a click & collect on the way, I visited the Metro for groceries, had my Zoom 🩰 class then visited my aunt who was staying in the apartments next 🚪. My favourite cousin was there too.
pickI‘ve never seen the ballet, and so never really understood why the image of the nutcracker is so entwined with Christmas, but after seeing both E T A Hoffman‘s original and Alexandre Dumas‘ rewrite mentioned in a book earlier this month, I had a desire to read both versions! Not quite what I expected, and I‘m not entirely sure what Dumas was aiming for in his near-identical rewrite, but it‘s a sweet, magical story.
