      About This Book

      This innovative interpretation of The Nutcracker ballet combines the beauty and sizzle of Harlem Renaissance nightclubs, the power of true love, and the magic of Christmas. The Harlem Nutcracker tells the story of the recently widowed Clara, whose fear and despair on Christmas Eve melt away during a fantastical journey back in time with the ghost of her beloved husband. Donald Byrd's jazzy ballet--which has played to rave reviews across the country since its debut in 1996--celebrates African American family and history, and the joy of Christmas.
