Even now, in his 90s, he remains a vital presence in the ballet world, staging productions of Coppelia and Giselle as well as Balanchine ballets. So it comes as a surprise to learn that the English former Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo star began his dance career as a West End chorus boy and in nightclubs performing Fred and Ginger routines.

These and other surprising tidbits sprinkle the pages of this new biography by Leslie Norton.

An exhaustively researched overview of Franklin's career, the book spends as many pages on the eras in which Franklin performed as on the star himself. The anecdotes range from familiar to fascinating.
