A Nutcracker Story - The Mouse And The Unicorn

About this book

Young Elise, gifted with deep sight, dreams the quest of the mouse acrobat and the unicorn after they have escaped the great battle between the forces of the Nutcracker and the army of the Seven-Headed Mouse king. They meet many perils along the way, both internal and external, but finally dance a revelatory dance with Blanche and Djinnsky. The quest changes the mouse acrobat far beyond who she was at the start. Elise wakes having seen to the center. This is a modern and modest reworking of The Nutcracker which diseents from war and greed in favior of self-knowledge which takes a more fundamental form of courage and humility.
