About this Item
DJ couple of tiny chips, closed tears, pages are clean, binding is tight. From the inside flap: This sophisticated little tale is told with great relish, a thorough technical knowledge of dancing and a nostalgic feeling for the gaieties of pre-1914 Russia. The three ballerinas are nicely contrasted, and their characters remain completely true to type, whether at the height of their youthful success or in the shabby penury of their old age. But what makes this book really outstanding is the unique background it provides of pre-revolutionary Russia a glittering panorama of jewels, uniforms, perfumes, palaces, titles and flowers, set to the music of Tchaikovsky and Delibes, against which these redoubtable little baggages play their explosive roles. And the whole sense of period is heightened by their delightful drawings by Alma K. Lee, with which the book is decorated on almost every page. Seller Inventory # 001859
