[Margot · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is very different from the Julie Kavanagh biography of the choreographer. This book does not really look at the personal life of Sir Frederick Ashton. It is rather a very thorough and interesting look at his choreography. All his ballets are explained and reviewed.
This book is not for a newcomer to ballet.
