In Alexandre Dumas' rendition of E. T. A. Hoffman's, The Nutcracker and the the Mouse King, the Sugar Plum Fairy rules over the Kingdom of Sweets. When Marie Silberhaus helps the Nutcracker kill the Mouse King, the Nutcracker turns into a Prince and, in gratitude, takes Marie to the kingdom where the Sugar Plum Fairy presides over the festivities held in Marie's honour.
