'Swan Lake' is perhaps the best-loved ballet of all time. Hans Christian Andersen Medal Winner, Lisbeth Zwerger, brings her singular vision to a glorious picture book adaptation of the haunting story of an enchanted swan princess.
She has based her version on Tchaikovsky's original 1877 ballet, which had a happy ending, unlike the later, better-known 1893 version. Her illustrations, luminous, lyrical, filled with grace and beauty, evoke the brilliance of the ballet and the universal appeal of this beloved fairtale.
