'''"The Nutcracker and the Mouse King"''' (Ger. ''Nußknacker und Mausekönig'') is an 1816 story by [[E. T. A. Hoffmann|ETA Hoffmann]], but you probably know it by its shorter title, '''''[[The Nutcracker (theatre)|The Nutcracker]]''''' (Rus. ''Щелкунчик, Shchelkunchik'') from the frequently-staged ballet by Tchaikovsky, the musical suite derived therefrom, and from that suite's use in Walt [[Disney]]'s ''[[Fantasia]]''. The ballet has also been made into various animated adaptations.

* [[A Child Shall Lead Them]]: Young Drosselmeier is the king of the Land of the Dolls. He's probably 14 at the ''most.''
* [[All the Little Germanies]]: The setting - and this story is one of the leading causes of the whole ''gemütlich'' reputation of this period and setting.
