About This Item
New York: Random House, 1979. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Numerous textual photographs. Dame Margot Fonteyn (1919-91) is regarded as one of the greatest classical ballet dancers of all time. In this work, she offers advice to all children about to embark on the study of dance, and to all parents hoping to guide them. Laid in is a typed letter signed (TLS) from Fonteyn on Royal Opera House letterhead. In the letter, which was written at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver on July 29, 1967, she confirms her involvement in Gerhard's "Don Quixote" ballet, as well as the Paris production of "Eloge de la Folie" by Roland Petit's Company. Faint stain to the fore-edge, with a minor crease to the top corner of two pages. The dust jacket is very lightly rubbed, with a mild crease to the front flap; otherwise a very good copy. Inscribed by Author.
