Description
A magical keepsake pop-up of Swan Lake - perfect for gifting!
"One of the swans rose up on its legs, stretched its wings and thrust its neck towards the sky. It turned once on the spot, and then Siegfried found himself looking at the most beautiful young woman he had ever seen."
When Prince Siegfried goes into the forest, he discovers a group of young women living under the spell of a wicked sorcerer. They are cursed to live as swans, only returning to their true form by night. The only thing that can break the spell is true love. A classic story of magic, moonlight and the power of friendship and love to overcome all.
This beloved tale, immortalised by Tchaikovsky's ballet, is brought to life with intricate artwork and inventive pop-ups!

The Nutcracker (2023)
The Snow Queen (2021)
