Margot assoluta

(Published 2000)

Fair Prospect Imprint’s first book was designed to complement a three-day conference in London in 1999. This symposium, entitled ‘The Fonteyn Phenomenon’, was organised by the Royal Academy of Dancing. It set out to analyse the far-reaching influence of the legendary ballerina Margot Fonteyn, the dancer who made her first New York appearance at the age of thirty, in 1949, after which the press went crazy, with one paper announcing: “The world’s only valid legend.” Time magazine instantly put her on their cover.
