Almost very good condition in a slightly better than good dustwrapper. Mrs. Wintle ran a dancing school where she trained troupes of girls who became known as 'Mrs. Wintle's Little Wonders. Mrs. Wintle's daughter was very talented but rather conceited and she feels threatened when jointed by her cousin Rachel and her adopted sister Hilary as Hilary proves to be talented dancer.
