This one is La Bayadere.This children's illustrated story is written from a first person point of view and is similar to a princess diary type storybook. Now with the Ballet academy underway and as the Princess gather things ready for their new academy readers are further introduced into world of ballet. The Princess Ballerina series is a spin-off series of the Princess of Chadwick Castle eight-book series for girls. Each full color book tells of the princesses' daily adventure living in the castle as the mysteries regarding court intrigue heightens. The series features artwork from the art masters whose works have entered the public domain and are no longer restricted by copyright. Who is the princess castle series for?I wrote the series primarily for girls age 7-12 but although it is a princess type story with mystery, action and adventure, I feel even a boy could enjoy the series. (Bear in mind these are princess stories for girls, essentially.) It being a full-color illustrated ebook and full-color paperback I hope to expose young readers to artwork from master artists of the world and teach them ballet stories that even today children can enjoy at their local ballet performances. My hope is that the princess series will be a children's illustrated classic someday.All Titles in the Princess Ballerina Series.Runaway Princess, Book 1Cliffside Mystery, Book 2Castle Academy, Book 3Court Secrets, Book 4Forgotten Mystery, Book 5Ballerina Picnic, Book 6Princess Troubles, Book 7Ballet Academy, Book 8
