Hiddensee: A Novel | Gregory Maguire

Pickpick

I quite enjoyed the meandering tale of Dirk Drosselmeier and definitely preferred this to Wicked.
However, I would have preferred to actually see Hiddensee in the book, and have more than a glancing paragraph to cover the actual nutcracker narrative. It would have also been nice to have some closure about the lost forest rather than it being open to interpretation.
I had fun reading it anyway!

Yesterday's #bookmail! The kid immediately took possession of it, and I have only been allowed to look at it when commanded to read a story. Thanks @lyradora for the recommendation!

ReadZenRites I can see why.... that cover art would have motivated me to read and color!😊💕💕 6y
lyradora Yay! Enjoy. 😊 6y

This is a wonderful collection of prose retellings of classic ballets, including The Nutcracker, Sleeping Beauty, and Swan Lake. Gorgeous illustrations by Rebecca Guay. #childrensbooks #fairytale
