One of the world's greatest dancers writes the biography of one of the world's greatest ballerinas. Markova and Dolin are partners again; this time she is the subject and he is the chronicler of her triumphs. Out of his years of close association with Markova, Dolin has told a story no one else could. He has told it with the warmth of a friend, with the pride of a partner and with his unique understanding of the art of ballet. It is much more than a career story, for here we have, for the first time, a full-length portrait of the woman, as well as the ballerina. 4. Very Good/Good.
