Publisher's Synopsis
Once upon a time in the fantastical medieval land of Yule in a kingdom called Yew, Drosselmeyer and Hob were tree spirits by day and could take human form at night.
After Clara's father Seth, a good-hearted woodcutter, suddenly dies, Drosselmeyer focuses his one remaining eye on secretly looking after his goddaughter, Clara. She is treated like "Cinderella" by her stepmother Madeline and her eldest daughter Pearl. Yet all is not misery and loss. Clara and her younger stepsister Kelly become friends. One day, Clara walks into the Cobbler's shop with Pearl's glass slippers. She befriends the shoe maker's apprentice, Rodkin. These two classic fairy tales Cinderella and the Nutcracker begin their waltz. This yuletide tale of Yor is full of new twists, turns, and more than a few surprises.
