I will look for it; thank you.
Now, in reply to my own earlier enquiry: I bought the Meredith
Daneman biog of Fonteyn --- it is fabulous, of the same top quality as
Julie Kavanagh's biogs of Frederick Ashton and Rudolf Nureyev. Very
moving, very insightful, gives a full all-sides ****trait of that
fascinating, difficult, sad, and utterly brilliant woman. Several
sources cite that amazing "sea change" that comes over the greatest
performers: at almost 50 years old, Margot waited in the wings,
haggard, tired, in pain; and as her cue was heard, stood up, and on
the instant she stepped out, she had become a joyous healthy 16-year-
old.
The book's paperback edition has been "remaindered" in North America,
and I got it for $1 plus postage! A fantastic book, worth the full
publisher's price.
