One of the most successful new Australian ballets of recent years, based on the enchanting stories of May Gibb. The work was staged by the Australian Ballet in choreography by Petal Miller-Ashmole, a highly popluar production with audiences both young and old. A CD of the ballet score by Richard Mills was released recently by ABC Records.
