Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. THE HELPMANN-BLISS BALLET MIRACLE IN THE GORBALS A Study by Arnold L HASKELL, HASKELL, Arnold L Published by The Albyn Press, Edinburgh, 1946 First Edition Blue cloth, 9 1/4" x 7".

Thanks to the efforts of David Drew[citation needed], a dancer with the Royal Ballet for over 50 years, the ballet was revived in 2014 by the Birmingham Royal Ballet, under the direction of Gillian Lynne, a member of the original cast. …
