Nutcracker Nation by Jennifer Fisher
This entertaining book offers new insights into North America's love affair with The Nutcracker. It traces the ballet's history, describes its many variegated productions and explains its allure as a way for Americans to tell a story about their communal values and themselves.
“A book for dance outsiders and insiders, for all grownups who have lived the Nutcracker experience and wondered about its sometimes crazy mix of history, kids, and pure stage magic”—Lynn Garafola, coeditor of The Ballets Russes and Its World
