Illustrated by Diz Wallis.
This beautiful collection tells the stories of some of the most popular classical ballets. The tales are full of drama, excitement and humour, from the fairytale splendour of 'The Song Of The Nightingale' and the classic romanticism of 'Swan Lake', to the rural comedy of 'The Girl Who Needed Watching'. Including perennial favourites such as 'The Nutcracker' and 'Petrushka', the book concludes with informative notes on each of the ballets.
Originally published in 1995 as 'Tales From The Ballet', this lovely edition has been reissued with a new title and in an adorable miniature format.
