Beautifully Illustrated Ballet Tales, Dec 30 2009
By Rebecca A. Buchanan "book fiend" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Barefoot Book of Ballet Stories W/CD (Hardcover)
The description of this book on both Amazon and B&N is completely wrong (for another book, perhaps?). Jane Yolen and Heidi EY Stemple retell six classic ballets: Coppelia, Swan Lake, Cinderella, The Nutcracker, The Sleeping Beauty, and Daphnis and Chloe. Each story is preceded by a page of historical notes, including initial reception of the ballet (The Sleeping Beauty was a failure). Rebecca Guay's gorgeous illustrations grace each story, including miniature and full page illustrations, and even a few two page spreads. A brief history of ballet and a bibliography conclude the volume. There is also a cd included, with the stories read by Juliet Stevenson. Highly recommended to fans of the ballet and fairy tales.

Ballet Stories book, Dec 15 2011
By Pamela J. Cohen "dancin withpam.com" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Barefoot Book of Ballet Stories W/CD (Hardcover)
This is an excellent story book for the preteen reader who is interested in dance. It will keep their interest and teach them of all of the stories behind the ballets.

Not "Unabridged", Aug 25 2011
By Sara - Published on Amazon.com
While the audiobook description may say "unabridged", the mp3 only includes three of the ballets: Nutcracker, Sleeping Beauty, Daphnis and Chloe. The other three (Cinderella, Coppelia, Swan Lake) from the book&CD version are missing.
The previous customer review is therefore not relevant to this audiobook, which makes sense since the date of that review is before this audiobook was even released. That review was submitted for the book&CD, and was incorrectly copied over onto this audiobook.
Very disappointing.
Listmania!
