E. T. A. Hoffmann (1776–1822) was a German author, artist, composer, and eccentric. His stories were known for their fantastical elements. Three of his tales served as the basis of Offenbach's opera Tales of Hoffmann. His most well-known work, though, was this Christmastime story from 1816, which inspired the famous ballet by Russian composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky.
