Anita W, Reviewer
I'm not sure if this is a reprint; some of the language feels slightly dated. But it's packed with information and should be interesting to anyone interested in potted biopics or the individuals considered.
I thought the Marie Lloyd bio was well informed and gave a real feel for both the lady, her life and the times. The same can be said of the Piaf bio which captured the essence of her difficult and tragic life. I knew little about Nijinsky, but was happy to get an overview of the man and his work in ballet. Overall a detailed and well researched book and I enjoyed it.
