A great story overall, but the illustrations were horrendous - they reminded me of crayon drawings without life or spirit. Retelling the stories of ballet offers so much source material to draw on, I don't get it...

A beautifully illustrated charming re-telling of classic stories from the world of ballet.

I love Swan Lake. ^_^ I hope I get to see some ballets in the future.
