This book brings together, for the first time, over 120 images which chart the whole of Fonteyn's career with The Royal Ballet from 1934 until her last appearances in galas in the 1980s. They include her three great partnerships (with Robert Helpmann, Michael Somes and Rudolf Nureyev) as well as highlights from her career. Family photographs of her early life show the young ballerina in the making and there are glimpses of her working life as a dancer in photographs of her in rehearsal, on tour and relaxing with members of the The Royal Ballet.
