"In this attractive book, ten of the world's best-known ballets, including

The Sleeping Beauty, The Nutcracker, Romeo and Juliet, and

Cinderella, are introduced to young readers. The essence of a ballet

production is successfully captured by the full-color illustrations, which

exuberantly portray each story's setting, and the writing style, which

maintains the original flavor of both the tales and ballets. Children who love

to attend ballets, take ballet lessons, or like to read fairy tales will

delight in this treasury."--Booklist There is no more elegant or

comprehensive introduction to the ballet than this enchanting book.
