A fascinating memoir of her life in ballet, briefly Inscribed by the legendary ballerina as Margot Fonteyn Arias (her married name) on the title page. Royal 8vo. 266 pp. + index. A fine copy in black cloth, gilt titles to the spine in a near fine pictorial dust wrapper portraying Fonteyn as photographed by Cecil Beaton. Stunning black and white photographs.

"There is a feeling for choreographic form that gives shape and substance to the composition of what she is dancing, to a degree that one has never seen equaled in the ballet." The New Yotk Times.
