More About This Title Harriet's Ghost

English

Marianne is an extremely talented ballet dancer, but her friend Harriet is worried about her—being skinny is common enough in ballet school, but Marianne seems to be making herself ill. Harriet is excited to be accompanying Marianne to dance at the Opera, but as Marianne grows weaker, Harriet sees another dancer waiting in the wings. Can it really be Giuseppina, a famous 19th century ballerina, reaching out from the past?

Bridget Crowley began her career as a dancer and actor, and has been a teacher of both in schools across London. She is now a writer and a freelance lecturer and story-teller, spending much of her time working with school children and the disabled, talking about art and painting—at the National Gallery, the Tate Modern, the Tate St. Ives, and the Wallace Collection, among others. She also works as an "audio-describer" at the Royal National Theater, assisting the visually impaired to appreciate live performances.
