The Magic of Dance

In this picturesque tome, Margot Fonteyn shares with us her personal vision of the history of dance. Fired with a deep love for the art she herself has so spectacularly enhanced, she leads us back to the formal courts of the 1500's and forward through the centuries to the theatres of her own lifetime. In Russia, France, Italy, England, Denmark, America - wherever dance has flourished - she reveals it to us, and makes us feel its magic.
