This is the first title in Lorna Hill’s incredibly popular Sadler’s Wells series.
Veronica Weston lives in London, where she attends ballet classes, but when she is orphaned she has to move to rural Northumberland to live with her wealthy aunt and uncle and their two daughters. They know nothing about ballet, and only Sebastian, the girls’ cousin, who lives nearby and is himself a talented musician, has any understanding of Veronica’s obsession with it ...
Jenifer Blair has written an introduction about family memories of the Durham School of Dancing, which was similar to the one at which Veronica trained in Newcastle. Clarissa Cridland has provided the very complex publishing history (with help from others!)
Also included is a short story by Lorna Hill called Dancer's Luck (nothing to do with the title of the same name!).
