From Simply Knitting 61:

The tale of the Nutcracker defending Clara from an army of mice, then taking her to the Land of the Sugar Plum Fairy, has captured imaginations for generations. Now you can bring the story to life. Even if you were never a ballet-mad little girl yourself, you may well know boys and girls who’d love to receive their very own knitted soldier.
