ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK -----This is a gloriously illustrated rendition of the iconic ballet. The full story is given on the last page, with a simplified version of events running across the top which allows the oversize pages to be given over to the bright and sometimes sombre colours and decorative illustrations. There are cut-throughs and laser-cut overlays scattered throughout, to great effect.

A very attractive gift for any adult collector of children's books (I know there are a few of you out there!) but also a special gift for any ballet-obsessed youngster. Lindy

Exploring timeless themes of love, innocence, deception and betrayal, Charlotte Gastaut magnificently retells the story of Giselle

Charlotte Gastaut uses die-cut paper and transparent book leaves to fully immerse us in one of the world's most famous and haunting ballets.
