Customer Reviews

Excellent ballet story!

Margot Fonteyn and Trina Schart Hyman make a great team in this adaptation of Swan Lake. Fonteyn's balletic outlook and Hyman's artistic expression make this fable a great, valuable classic story. I especially love Hyman's drawing interpretation of Odile, known as the evil Black Swan, when she enters the palace to steal the Prince's heart. This would make a great gift for a child any age!!

This book should be in every child's home library

Ballerina Margot Fonteyn's Swan Lake is a beautifully retold classic. The text is enchanting and the illustrations only add to the magnificence of this book. I highly recommend this book for all children.
