Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. A cream coloured, cloth bound, hardback, book, with lovely gilt titles on the spine. Comes with nice clean, tidy, not price clipped dust jacket. This wonderful book is in first class condition, hardly read or use, and as its a used book, normal wear, marks and tear apply consistent with use and age. 249 pages all intact and nice tight binding. Pen & Ink signature on first blank page. This is a story of a child with a passion, a child with such a gift he overcomes almost insurmountable odds to realize his ambition, to dance. The story of Doone's struggle is a heart-warming and at times heart-breaking one, which reveals Rumer Godden's innate understanding both of children and of the tribulations suffered by the parents of a child such as Doone. It is also a superb evocation of the sacrifice and dedication that is the lot of every young dancer. But above all it is a fine and moving novel by one of the great storytellers of our time.
