Bargain Ballet Book
If you are a ballet fan then I think you will like this little book. Its called "Balletomania, The Story of an Obsession" and is by Arnold L Haskell. It was first published in 1934. I was lucky to buy it for a few pence!
Tamara Toumanova in Les Sylphides 1934 |
Anna Pavlova - Maryinsky period |
And not a few strange ones!
There are also some interesting illustrations which have been taken from sketches from actual productions.
Masks from Le Renard (M Larinov) |
It would appear that Arnold L Haskell was absolutely obsessed with ballet, its history and performers.
Le Coq d'Or (N Gontcharova) |
An interesting wee book - even though I know nothing about ballet!
Mask in Contes Russes (M Larinov) |
