8vo. 42 pp. Original blue boards with original orange spine and front labels, in illustrated dustjacket printed in brown and silver. Jacket somewhat chipped, otherwise in very fine condition. Dedicated to Leonide Massine, "this book is not a history of the ballet, nor a treatise on ballet technique. It is a record of my views and impressions - an attempt to throw a ray of light on the controversial question: whether the Russian ballet is passing through a phase of decadence, or whether Col. de Basil has performed a miracle of resuscitation."
