description: Margot fonteyn has become a legend in her own lifetime. Form an early age she was determined to become a ballerina, and her desire to follow in the footsteps of the great russian dancer, anna pavlova, became apparent the first time she saw a poster of her. The young margot inquired as to who the dancer was, and her mother replied, 'that is anna pavlova, the greatest dancer in the world'. 'then i'll be the second greatest', came the prompt reply. She was to more than achieve this ambition, having made a special place for herself in the history of ballet as one of the greatest ballerinas britain has ever produced. 25/04/88 launch agreed 4000x96px$4.95(3000x113p).216x145mm,64pp,series style.
