Among the gems featured in this gorgeously graceful collection are Geraldine McCaughrean's classic retelling of The Nutcracker; Fiona Dunbar's quirky modern-day take on the same story, in which Clara struggles to conquer her phobia of mice; a special one-off Nina Fairy Ballerina story about Nina's nerve-frazzling audition to become a pupil at the Royal Academy of Fairy Ballet; the tale of Bunty the ballet-mad walrus (yes, walrus) and a Julia Donaldson Princess Mirrorbelle story featuring some rather special ballet slippers . . . So whether you've twirled on pointe, danced in a recital or just about mastered first position, BALLERINA STORIES is guaranteed to put the sparkle in your steps!
