Printing Details

First edition. Small hardback in dustwrapper. 19 × 12.5cm, 64pp.

Kay Ambrose has here compiled and illustrated a small book for all ballet students at the elementary stage. It begins with exercises at the barre and then describes and illustrates in detail the first steps in ballet, and numerous hints are included such as costume, and how to make a tutu.

Condition

The book is in good condition, but with some light spotted foxing to the prelims. The dustwrapper is edgeworn and has been rather scruffily price-clipped but remains attractive.
