[.ca] Ballet Stars of the Romantic Era Paper Dolls in Full Color (ISBN 0486269205)

19th Century Ballet Made Easy:
I can't imagine a more painless way of learning about 19th century ballet than Tom Tierney's Ballet Stars of the Romantic Era. True to history, the four ballerinas have the matching costumes they wore for their famous Pas de Quatre -- when all four shared a single stage. Careful details include Marie Taglioni's trademark pearl necklace: she thought her neck was too long, and always wore a pearl choker to disguise it. The four ballerinas share a partner, dancer/choreographer Jules Perrot, so there are five dolls in all. My dancer daughter has had these paper dolls for years, and still treasures them.
