    Swan is a picture book biography from Chronicle Books with emphasis on the term “picture book”.

    It is a romantic portrait of the Russian girl who became one of the world’s most famous ballerinas.

         Anna is first shown in a snowbound city at night, being taken by sled to the theatre (the Mariinsky in St.

    Petersburg, or Petrograd as it was known at the time) where she sees her first ballet.

    The story unfolds. A sleeping beauty opens her eyes…
    And so does Anna.
