An essential read for all ballet lovers

Cranko died far too young. What he achieved in his short life in terms of choreography was extraordinary. I loved this biography and have placed it in its rightful place on my book shelf next to Kavanagh's biography of Ashton and Parry's of MacMillan. It is beautifully written and an absolutely essential read for any lover of ballet.
