balletla Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I have just been clearing out some of DDs books and found a copy of "Ballet School" by Camilla Jessel. I have never noticed before but on the inside cover is inscribed: 'To Shirley, With love and thanks for all your help with this book, much love Camilla 30.09.99" - obviously the author's note to Shirley. Then further down it says "To Louise, I hope you will get as much joy from your dancing as I have over the years. Good Luck today - enjoy the class, Best wishes, Shirley Grahame 29.05.03" - obviously the Shirley was Shirley Grahame the Royal Ballet dancer, but no idea who Louise is. I have a feeling we bough it second hand (obviously) from Amazon, and no idea who we bought it off. Can only surmise that Louise passed the book on at some point, or maybe she was the seller? Intriguing huh? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 We've got this book, (unsigned though ) and dd loves it. I would hang on to it if I were you, we might see you on the Antiques Road Show in a few years time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingerbread Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 We have Darcey Bussell's Life in Dance, signed by Darcey, saying "For Rachel". I wonder who Rachel is! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
