    Darcey Bussell

    Darcey Bussell joined the Royal Ballet School when she was 13 and, despite starting later than most of the other students, became a Principal of the Royal Ballet at just 19, at the time the youngest ballerina ever to be given this honour. Darcey received both the OBE and CBE awards during her time with the Royal Ballet, and since officially retiring in 2007 she has teamed up with Katherine Jenkins in the phenomenally successful Viva la Diva. She is married with two daughters.

      Holly and the Land of Sweets - Darcey Bussell

      Map

      Prologue

      In the soft, pale light, the girl stood with her head bent and her hands held lightly in front of her. There was a moment’s silence and then the first notes of the music began. For as long as the girl could remember music had seemed to tell her of another world – a magical, exciting world – that lay far, far away. She always felt if she could just close her eyes and lose herself, then she would get there. Maybe this time. As the music swirled inside her, she swept her arms above her head, rose on to her toes and began to dance …

      Holly’s eyes widened as, slowly, she took in what her mum was saying. You mean …

      Yes, smiled her mum. I’m giving up professional ballet!

      Holly couldn’t believe her ears. She’d been living with her aunt and uncle during term time because her mum and dad, who were divorced, were away on tour with their ballet companies. Only now her mum was coming home for good! It was the best news she’d heard in ages.

      But won’t you miss dancing? Holly asked quickly, thinking how awful she’d feel if she couldn’t go to her own ballet school, Madame Za-Za’s.

      Her mum looked thoughtful. You know in your heart when the time is right to give something up, Holly. She paused and sighed, then broke into a smile. Anyway, I’m not giving it up completely, I’m going to teach instead.

      Really? But that’s brilliant! said Holly.

      It certainly is, her mother smiled. The only downside is that the ballet school I’m going to work at is a bit of a distance from here, so we’ll be moving again. I’m sorry, love, she finished, seeing the look in Holly’s eyes and giving her a quick hug. I know you’ve settled in well here, and Auntie Maria and Uncle Ted have loved having you but, well, you’ll have me as a teacher from now on!

      Holly nodded. She felt over the moon that her mum was going to be back, but it would mean she could no longer go to Madame Za-Za’s
