Rumer Godden
Lottie’s mother had been a promising ballet star who died young, leaving Lottie to be raised by Auntie, the wardrobe mistress at Madame Holbein’s Theatre of Dance. When she passes the tough audition for the famous Royal Ballet School, Queen’s Chase, everyone is thrilled - except Lottie. Now that she has to live at the school, what will become of her beloved dog Prince? To choose between the two is heart-breaking, but thanks to Prince, Lottie finds a new friend, a brilliant dancing role and a whole family. ‘Listen to the nightingale,’ Madame Holbein used to say, and Lottie finally comes to understand what she meant. This charming and vivid ballet fairytale will delight young and adult readers alike.
