Darcey Bussell Evolved
Hardie Grant Books, London 2018, 192 pages, 26x31cm, Hardback, ISBN 978-1-78488-179-5
euro 34,00
The first book from Darcey Bussell in over six years, retired darling of the British Ballet for 20 years and beloved judge of Strictly Come Dancing, this publishing extravaganza coincides with the the superstar ballerina's 50th birthday.
Exquisitely produced, the book is filled with remarkable images of Dame Darcey Bussell in various notable locations, such as a pod of the London Eye, on top of the Victoria and Albert memorial, and performing at worldwide events, like the Olympics opening ceremony. The collection includes rare and unseen moments of Darcey shot by some of the most famous photographers, including Lord Anthony Snowdon, Mario Testino and Annie Leibovitz, in locations beyond the stage – including rehearsals, fashion shoots and more – which are accompanied by behind-the-scenes stories and personal anecdotes.
A fitting testament to one of our true national treasures, this glorious and charming book is a wonder to enjoy for years to come.

May 29, 1953 ... 2023
70 years ago, Mount Everest/Chomolungma conquered.
Indeed it was a British-made 33 mm Smiths A409 wrist watch which was worn ON the top of Everest but Rolex 6098 watches were worn/carried TO the top of Everest.
Since 1933, Rolex had been sponsoring Himalayan expeditions and secured a patent for the “Explorer” in January 1953. Remember it could have been Rolex first ON top of Mount Everest if British climbers Charles Evans and Thomas Bourdillon made it on May 26, 1953 but had to return after being very close to the summit. Three days later Edmund Hillary & Tenzing Norgay made it to the top!
The 200+ years old Pen-Y-Grwyd hotel in Snowdonia - Wales was the birthplace & homebase of British Mountaineering. The place where training and testing of oxygen equipment for those Himalayan expeditions took place. A wonderful setting which was revisited by the 1953 expedition members during anniversaries!
