Reseñas de la Crítica

"Prepare for this year's performance of 'Nutcracker' with this elegant collection." ( San Francisco Chronicle)

Heartbroken!

I have over 400 Audible books & this is, without doubt, one of my absolute favorites! The stories are tender & full of loveliness & Juliet Stevenson... well, she simply must go on living forever to tell me stories! Her voice is the perfect match to anything graceful & moving! Juliet, I love you! This book has been such a treasure in my library! I love it so much that I’ve looked to see if there was a sequel... only to discover that this book, in print, contains several more ballets! This reading only contains the first 3, The Nutcracker, Sleeping Beauty & Daphnis & Chole. But the Book also has: Cinderella, Swan Lake & Coppelia! The only way this book could be more perfect is if it also featured Giselle... I am heartbroken that we are missing out on hearing Juliet Stevenson read the other Ballets to us! I want the rest of this book! It’s beautiful in every way & deserves a full production!
