From her early years through to her final perfomance, every significant moment has been captured. Along with images of her on stage and in costume, there are also behind-the-scenes photos and more intimate snaps of rehearsals and preparation. Darcey also provides fascinating insight into the ballet world, with personal anecdotes and memories of some of the most important moments in her career. It features her now famous performances in ballets such as Swan Lake, Cinderella, Giselle, Manon, The Nutcracker and The Sleeping Beauty. A must-have for lovers of ballet and dance, as well as being a beautiful book to own and treasure.
