The Cajun Nutcracker
by Chara Mock Illustrated by Jean Cassels
The Nutcracker ballet on the bayou.
As Merrae celebrates with her friends and family her excitement grows when she receives a Nutcracker from her godfather. But that night she finds herself surrounded by nutria and threatened by the evil Gator King. Soon toy soldiers and the Nutcracker come to life and battle the creatures. Merrae is saved by the Nutcracker and finds he is truly a Prince. In his pirogue they make their way through the misty cypriere--cypress swamp lit by la mouche a feu--fireflies to the chateau of the Sugar Cane Fairy. There they are fed with Cajun treats and entertained by dancing cayenne peppers, pralines and le crevisse--crawfish; while soft beignets danced around the cafe' au lait. With the sweet fragrance of magnolias in the air, Prince Hudson smiles as The Sugar Cane Fairy crowns Merrae as the Cajun Princess.
