Giselle

This stunningly beautiful picture book is both an introduction to “Giselle”, and the perfect gift book for ballet fans.

Adapted to a picture book with CD, the ghost-filled masterpiece from the repertoire of classical ballet tells a dramatic love story of a beautiful young peasant girl named Giselle, who dies of a broken heart after discovering her lover is engaged to another woman.

Olivier Desvaux’s pictorial technique gracefully illustrates scenes of this universal romantic story – somewhat reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet – in which love transcends death.
