Summary:
The summer of 1911 was one of the high sunlit meadows of English history. A new king was crowned and the aristocracy was at play, bounding from one house party to the next - the socialite Lady Michelham travelled with her nineteen yards of pearls. The Ballets Russes arrived for the first time in London and people swarmed into Covent Garden to see Nijinsky's gravity-defying leaps.
