by Gregory Maguire:
The story of Drosselmeyer and the Nutcracker comes to life as only Gregory Maguire (author of Wicked) could bring it. Bookseller Christine loved Hiddensee and says it’s “an excellent read in which the power of storytelling resonates throughout. [It explores] how stories, especially fairy tales, shape our actions and provide meaning to our lives, for good or ill. Hiddensee is high on my ‘couldn’t-put-down-ness’ meter because of that, as well as the intriguing life of the lonely Drosselmeyer. ” How’s that for an endorsement?
