The Barefoot Book of Ballet Stories

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Rebecca Guay. A short history of the development of ballet opens the book. With the exception of Giselle, the major classic "story ballets" are introduced and retold. Daphnis and Chloe and the more contemporary Shim Chung, based on a Korean folktale, round out the collection. Illustrations that are lush and romantic, but curiously static, accompany each tale.
