Review:
This will be the definitive biography for decades.
Buckle has chosen the legendary dancer as his focus in a study encompassing the whole Diaghilev empire. We find an unobstructed view of this otherwise opaque man.
This book is the equivalent to a last opportunity to attend the golden age of the Russian Ballet. Buckle makes those golden pre-war summers live again.--Sacheverell Sitwell

Richard Buckle was one of the leading authorities on Diaghilev and the Ballet Russe. He was the ballet critic of the London Observer and the Sunday Times in London and was a pallbearer at Nijinsky's funeral in 1950. Richard died in 2001.
