Product Description
Synopsis
Marie and her parents are very poor, but Marie dreams of being the most famous ballerina in the world. When she joins the big ballet school in Paris, she notices a fierce man sitting at the side, sketching the dancers. The old man is the painter Edgar Degas, and his renowned clay model of Marie the ballet dancer does indeed make her the most famous dancer of all. Laurence Anholt's charmingly written story and lively illustrations are sensitively combined with reproductions of paintings and sketches by Degas, to create a fascinating introduction to the great painter and his love of the ballet.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful story, 22 Nov 2002
A wonderful story with beautiful illustrations, including some of Degas' work.

My daughter loves this book so much so has nearly worn it out. Since buying it she has shown so much interest in art and even choose her own Degas picture to go in her bedroom.

The story is well written, and has a good subtle morale - everything you want in a childrens book.

I couldn't recommend this more - the best of Anholts painter series (although I also love the Van Gogh and Picasso books too!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, imaginative and fun, 16 Jul 2006
By thegoodbook (Sevenoaks, UK) - See all my reviews
My daughter loves the 'Katie' books about different artists (James Mayhew), and this is similar. Strong story line with a nice twist in the tale ... the little ballet dancer wants to be famous, and she does become famous, but not in the way she expected.

Great illustrations and prints of actual Degas paintings.
