Margot
This is the story of how the most famous dancer that England ever produced was deceived and betrayed by those closest to her; of how a little girl called Peggy Hookham, brought up in Shanghai, told her mother she would become the greatest dancer in the world; and how, in spite of being almost unable to walk, she was still performing at age 67. The definitive biography of a giant in the dance world, whose tumultuous tabloid life was even more dramatic than the characters she played.
