In the first book, Ballet for Drina, Drina starts attending ballet classes much to the disapproval of her grandmother. The only ones I owned – and I still have them – are Drina Dances in Italy, Drina Dances Again, Drina Goes on Tour and Drina, Ballerina, but I remember borrowing the others from the library. The Drina series consisted of 11 books following the dancing career of Drina Adams. Jean Estoril was a pseudonym of Mabel Esther Allan, a British author of children’s books. One of my favourite ballet series was the Drina series by Jean Estoril. For my second Childhood Memories post (you can see the first one here) I thought I’d take a look at some of the children’s ballet stories that I remember reading. I have never had much interest in watching ballet, I’ve never attended a ballet class in my life – and yet I used to love reading books about ballet dancers.
