One windy day, a magazine blew down the road. I reached out & caught it. A pretty picture of a woman was on the front cover of the magazine. She wore a short pink dress that stuck out around her in a circle. She looked very happy. At the age of three, Michaela De Prince found a photo of a ballerina that changed her life. She was living in an orphanage in Sierra Leone at the time, but was soon adopted by a family & brought to America. Michaela never forgot the photo of the dancer she once saw, & decided to make her dream of becoming a ballerina come true. She has been dancing ever since, & after a spell as a principal dancer in New York, now dances for the Dutch National Ballet in Amsterdam. Beautifully & gently illustrated by Ella Okstad, Ballerina Dreams is the younger-reader edition of Michaela De Prince`s highly moving memoir, Hope in a Ballet Shoe. ...

One of several maps & panoramas of London to come out in 1851, the year of the Great Exhibition. This is an aerial panorama, naming streets & showing many individual buildings. The view is looking southwards & therefore appears ”upside-down” compared to most maps. The enormous glass building built in Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition is shown
- Cockneys dubbed it the ” Crystal Palace” & it`s even named as such on the panorama. The map is an exhilarating view of London looking south over the River Thames, as if taken from a balloon over Hampstead. This plan/view`s extent (St John`s Wood
- Battersea Park
- De Beauvoir Town
- Greenwich) & large size makes for a superbly detailed image with innumerable streets, buildings & landmarks identifiable. First published on the opening day of the Great Exhibition, the plan proved immensely popular with reissues appearing into the late 1870s. This is an early Stanford edition with the aquatint detail fresh & distinct, & presents a wonderful picture of London prior to the great Victorian expansion.

This is a beautiful colour view of London from the perspective of an aerial balloon, looking southwards from Hampstead. Printed in 1851, it shows the brand new Crystal Palace
- erected to house the Great Exhibition
- as well as the early London railways, Victorian Oxford Street, the Tower & eight of the city's bridges, many of which were recent constructions. This is a stunning & unexpected window on a city that was at the centre of a vast empire & at the height of its pomp.
