The Nutcracker: The Classic Christmas Fantasy - The Original Tale In Two Versions
by E.T.A. Hoffmann, Alexandre Dumas
This is one of the classic Christmas stories (along with A Christmas Carol by Dickens, there's a new version every year for Christmas)and the edition ilustrated by Scott Gustafson is beautiful.
I got this book as a gift (for Christmas, obviously), because at that point I was pretty much in love with ballet. Reading the story that I've seen so many times in movies and the stage (it is somewhat traditional that the National Ballet of my country performs this ballet for Christmas and my parents had taken me to see it) was amazing. The story itself is gorgeous and the illustrations made it even better.
One of the gifts I remember most fondly.
