Hans Christian Andersen Medal winner Lisbeth Zwerger retells and illustrates Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake in this elegant picture book, based on the composer's original 1877 ballet with its happy ending rather than the more familiar tragic 1893 version. Zwerger's luminous, moody watercolours in blues, greys and greens capture the transformation of the Swan Queen and the drama of the enchanted lake. A beautiful gift edition for collectors of fine illustrated children's books and ballet-themed literature.
