Dagmar Berkova’s version of The Nutcracker, published by Franklin Watts, New York, in 1968.
The illustrations in this book are just magical, doing justice to one of the world’s most celebrated Christmas stories.
Czech illustrator Berkova is best known for her illustrated editions of Alice in Wonderland, for which she won multiple prizes. But this one is our personal favourite of her books.
