Charming reflections on a Russian ballet favorite, paired with striking color illustrations. This book presents Edith Sitwell’s first published prose work, focusing on the ballet “Children’s Tales” and accompanied by a long foreword about the Russian ballet in general. The collaboration with artist I. de B. Lockyer brings the scenes to life with spirit and color that have long appealed to ballet patrons. A limited edition is being issued, making it a distinctive addition for collectors of modern poetry and ballet writing.
Inside you’ll find a thoughtful blend of literary essay and visual homage. The foreword frames the ballet’s allure, while the eight color reproductions by Lockyer illuminate the book’s charm. This edition is designed for readers who appreciate artful prose and the beauty of illustrated performance history.
Ideal for readers who love ballet writing, literary art, and limited-edition poetry books.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book considers the financial position of the United Kingdom in the aftermath of the First World War. The author argues that the countryâs perilous financial condition is a direct result of the governmentâs decision to borrow heavily during the war, rather than raise taxes. The author advocates for a number of measures to address the debt, including increased taxation on the wealthy, a levy on war-time profits, and a capital levy. The book also discusses the need for a more just and equitable tax system, one which places less of a burden on the poor and working class. The author concludes that the financial challenges facing the United Kingdom are significant, but that they can be overcome with a combination of responsible fiscal policy and a commitment to social justice. The book is a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate about how to manage national debt and promote economic recovery.
