Episode Episode 8 - ***Christmas Special - The Nutcracker Part 1***
Happy Holidays everyone! We are delighted to share part 1 of our Christmas Special with you!
Have you ever loved a toy so much you wished it came to life? Have you ever dreamed that you went on wonderful adventures with that toy that seemed so real?
Well, over two hundred years ago an author named E.T.A Hoffman wrote a beautiful story that enchanted children and grown ups - The Nutcracker & the Mouse King.
In fact, people loved the story so much that the famous Russian composer Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky wrote some wonderful music and the story was turned into a famous ballet - The Nutcracker Suite.
You can find out more about Mr Tchaikovsky HERE and listen to the music from the ballet HERE.
We’d like to say a big Christmas THANK YOU to all our lovely patrons. Our Christmas special is in two parts with the second part coming out a whole week early on the 3nd January !! But little sprites and power pixies will be able to access part 2 early on New Year’s Day over on our patreon page.
