She's also a very kind person, clearly followed the maxim, "If you can't say anything good about someone, don't say anything at all"...

Sadly this book appears to be out of print, so I was very happy to find a good secondhand copy. Ms Fonteyn has a very charming style and the book is a great read. I especially enjoyed the vivid descriptions of her life during WWII. A lovely book by an inspiring woman.

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2009
Honestly, this is one of the best autobiographies i've ever read. Her writing style is light and informal and her anecdotes are fun and enjoyable. Plus, she's had a fascinating life! A great read all around!

I loved this book. She relates a very full and well-travelled life. Margot is imaginative, unpretentious also strong willed and stubborn - an interesting person - you have to like her for her style and sincerity. Nureyev is depicted as impish, charming, volatile and brilliant. She has left out the bad and presented only the sunny side of she and Tito - but that's OK .

5.0 out of 5 stars I received a used book instead of a new one.
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2011

I received the Margot Fonteyn Autobiography yesterday afternoon, so I had not enough time to give a review concerning its contents. even though I had liked the few pages I read and I think I will like it. The problem is that I was sure that I had paid ($23.85) for a new one but it resulted a used one, stained on the top, the pages of the pictures almonst falling and I even found inside the book a clip from a newspaper depicting Mrs. Martha Graham and Mrs.Polly Bergen attending some event. I would appreciate being more careful next time. I have been an Amazon client for some time now and never had a complain before. Thanks. Carmen Marón
