![]() Throughout the series there is a lot of ballet for Drina, along with romance, and travel, and fights with friends, and jealous rivals, and a disapproving Grandmother to contend with, and I loved all of the books and read them over and over again, (except for Drina Goes to Switzerland, which I’ve actually never read it, since copies are hard to come by). The series of 11 books follows Drina from childhood when she first discovers ballet, and the fact that her mother (who died when Drina was a baby) was a famous ballerina, Elizabeth Ivory and takes us through to Drina as a 21 year old, getting to dance the lead role in a full-length ballet for her beloved Dominick Ballet Company. ![]() As a ballet-obsessed youth who also loved to read, the best combination of the two loves was a ballet-related book, and thankfully there were many.īut, my hands-down favourite was a series by Jean Estoril, about a ballet dancer called Andrina Adamo, or ‘Drina’ for short. ![]()
