Guest mic31 Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Has anybody read Secret Muses, a biography about Fredrick Ashton? Quote Link to comment
Alexandra Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Yes, and I have to say I prefer the David Vaughan biography, "Sir Frederick Ashton and His Ballets." I felt I knew Ashton, as a person and as an artist, after finishing it. Quote Link to comment
Guest mic31 Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 I try that one next. I found my current book in a used book store over the weekend Quote Link to comment
Alexandra Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 It's very well-written, I think, but the Vaughan is more about the artist than about ..... well, you'll see Tell us what you think! Quote Link to comment
Guest mic31 Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 I am finding that the book speaks more to the time and events around Ashton rather than how he reacts or what he gained or lost from each expierience....so far , I'm only 120 pages into it. By the way I just read a review in Dance magazine about you book on HK. Where can I find your bok here in Canada. Quote Link to comment
Alexandra Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 I think the easiest and cheapest way is on Amazon. They're still discounting it. In the U.S., the chains (like Barnes and Noble, etc.) carry it, and I know it was distributed in Canada, but I don't know where. Quote Link to comment
Guest mic31 Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 I am understand more about what you( Alexandra) were saying about the book. It still is a very interseting read. I can't wait to check out the other one Quote Link to comment
