About the Author

Darcey Bussell is a world famous Prima Ballerina.  She joined the Royal Ballet School when she was 13 and, despite starting later than most of the other students, became a Principal of the Royal Ballet at just 19, at the same time the youngets ballerina ever to be given this honour.  Darcey received both the OBE and CBE awards during her time with the Royal Ballet, and since officially retiring in 2007 she has teamed up with Katherine Jenkins in the phenomenally successful Viva la Diva.  She is married with two daughters.

Review

This is the fourth book in the Magic Ballerina series.

I really like the effort Delphie, Poppy and Lola went to to make up a special dance for Madame Za-Za's birthday.  I also liked the part when Delphie gave Madame Za-Za a special present from Enchantia and she found out that Madame Za-Za had been to Enchantia too.

I thought it was great when Delphie figured out why the clock in Enchantia wasn't working properly and was able to fix it with a little help from Sugar.  But then I was worried when King Rat had destroyed Cinderella's glass slipper and swapped it for his own slipper.  Thank goodness Sugar was able to turn in into Cinderella's slipper in the end.

I love the instructions for dancing 'The Cinderella Sweep' at the back of the book.
