The jacket is now in a protective mylar cover. Synopsis: "Was Damaris born to be Dammy Ellerton, a girl who spent her life among bees and chickens and her family, or was she to be Mary Damayris, a great ballerina with the world at her dancing feet? Throughout her childhood, Dammy danced her own exquisite dances -- in the dormitory at school after 'lights out' before her entranced friends; or for her only sister Rachel -- or by herself for the sheer joy of it. She knows nothing of the magic world of the theatre and ballet and was happy in the thought of her coming life as a bee and chicken farmer -- until the day, dancing by herself in a cafe in France, she was seen by Monsieur Berthelot, lifeling lover of le ballet, who recognised the genius waiting to be released in the young girl".
