P. Karsavina will in all probability leave Russia forever, for family reasons: the ballerina’s marriage to Mr. Bruce took place a few days ago.” You might be interested that I covered the Mukhin/Bruce relationship in my 2010 biography of her - Tamara Karsavina, Diaghilev's Ballerina.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08239482107623955887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-17409537102472928642017-11-16T18:58:10.997+00:002017-11-16T18:58:10.997+00:00I'm reading Thirty Dozen Moons by H J Bruce wh...I'm reading Thirty Dozen Moons by H J Bruce which is what led me to this site.akshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03407651832262277788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-10902146174050094612017-10-29T15:53:31.584+00:002017-10-29T15:53:31.584+00:00It's a lovely piece, Janie.

But the advance I was offered by the publisher wouldn't have kept me for a month.

I always found it shocking that Karsavina could not be presented at court when she came to England because a dancer was still considered a dubious profession, So interesting that you are related to Henry Bruce.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535203592561722426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-48553926097300737832017-10-27T22:47:23.377+01:002017-10-27T22:47:23.377+01:00I had heard of this dancer, probably in the How An...I had heard of this dancer, probably in the How And Why Wonder Book of Ballet, as a child, but not the accompanying story. <br /><br />Sounds like a subject for a novel!
