The frail Lilian Alicia Marks, with flat feet and knock knees requiring remedial dance classes is discovered to be a child prodigy. She becomes the youngest-ever soloist in Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes at age 14, re-born under the Russified name Alicia Markova. George Balanchine’s first ballet was choreographed for her and Diaghilev bonded with the tiny dancer like no one else, considering adoption. She would become the greatest classical ballerina of her time and one of the most independent dancers in an era of prima donnas, instrumental in the formation of almost every major ballet company in the US and UK while supporting her entire family. Tina Sutton reveals the astonishing rise of a poor, single Jewish woman, despite rampant anti-Semitism and sexism, to one of the 20th century's great artists.

In pre-World War I England, a frail Jewish girl is diagnosed with flat feet, knock knees, and weak legs. In short order, Lilian Alicia Marks would become a dance prodigy, the cherished baby ballerina of Sergei Diaghilev, and the youngest ever soloist at his famed Ballets Russes. It was there that George Balanchine choreographed his first ballet for her, Henri Matisse designed her costumes, and Igor Stravinsky taught her music—all when the re-christened Alicia Markova was just 14. Given unprecedented access to Dame Markova’s intimate journals and correspondence, Tina Sutton paints a full picture of the dancer’s astonishing life and times in 1920s Paris and Monte Carlo, 1930s London, and wartime in New York and Hollywood. Ballet lovers and readers everywhere will be fascinated by the story of one of the twentieth century’s great artists.
