This enchanting story follows one girl's journey from her very first trip to the ballet, through the doors of ballet school, and into the world of disciplined yet passionate training. From the beauty of key positions to the grace of timeless choreography, this story invites readers to step into a world where dreams and hard work intertwine.

Filled with illustrations of ballet positions, a history of the art form and the captivating tales behind famous ballets, this book is a treasure trove for budding dancers. A glossary of ballet terms makes it the perfect companion for young readers eager to learn.

First published in 1953, Anna's story will captivate young readers and delight adult fans of Noel Streatfeild's work, including the much-loved Ballet Shoes. Fresh new illustrations bring this classic ballet book for children up to date.
