A volume of recollection and candid praise in honor of the ballerina 25 years after her death, this should interest the always ample supply of more curious young balletomanes. More of a memoir than a biography, the book contains sketches by the editor, by Sol Hurok and by many of Anna's pupils and by Anna herself as she tells of her vision of vocation at eight. All reveal the portrait of a dedicated, dynamic ballerina.
