Soon after, however, Ashwood Farm burned to the ground, and only the three young girls survived.Years later, the sisters live very separate lives, each dealing with their painful past in different ways.

This collection of three uncanny tales highlights the best of a 19th-century German author who is seen by many as the father of modern sci-fi and fantasy. In The Sandman, young Nathanael grows up terrified of a legendary figure who will steal his eyes if hes caught out of bed at night - but its only when Nathanael has grown to adulthood, seemingly settled and happy, that the full, terrifying truth unfolds. A living doll, a series of doppelgangers, and the seeds of madness combine in this classic story of self-destruction.The Cremona Violin also deals with obsession and thwarted desire, this time between an overbearing father and a musically talented daughter who may die of heart failure if she unleashes the full power of her extraordinary voice. Suppressed passion and possessive control prove a fatal mix in this powerful and claustrophobic story. The Golden Pot, meanwhile, is a novella-length tale which Hoffmann believed was his masterpiece. Disturbing, exciting and dream-like, it introduces us to the bumbling Anselmus, whose romantic tribulations are complicated by a witchs curse and the fact that hes in love with a girl who also happens to be a snake.Influential in the worlds of both literature and music during his lifetime, Hoffmanns doppelgangers, unattainable love objects and sinister puppet masters have lived on, becoming key figures in the modern imagination.
