Readers are introduced to eleven-year-old Lena Gabrielle, who desperately wants to attend the 1890 debut performance of \"The Sleeping Beauty\" ballet at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg. When her father tells her the show is sold out, Lena Gabrielle embarks on a secret journey through the streets of the fabulous historic city. During the course of her travels, statues come alive. Amidst all the magic, she meets an endearing old man, named Tchaikovsky, who leads her to the door of the Mariinsky and shows her the stage where the ballet will be performed. When Lena Gabrielle touches the curtain, it parts, and she watches in awe as the ballet unfolds before her eyes—but is it really the performance? Or has Lena Gabrielle fallen far into her imagination?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book features the forty-eight-page classic English translation of the French tale on which the ballet is based. With fifty full-color illustrations created expressly for this book, Russian set designer Nikita Polyansky has rendered a unique collectible and retells the original Sleeping Beauty story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNikita Polyansky \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewas raised in Russia where he had his first dog, Crazy. \"She \u003cem\u003ewas\u003c\/em\u003e crazy—and fun and loving and full of adventure.
