Letters to Juliet: Celebrating Shakespeare's… af Lise Friedman
This is a sweet collection of letters sent by the lovelorn to the heroine of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. It is accompanied by beautiful pictures and photographs detailing the history of the love crossed pair. The narrative explains how the legend of Juliet developed and her tomb became a pilgrimage site for lovers. The legion of Juliet's secretaries who respond to the missives have quite the task as advice seekers write from all over the world. The edition is very well made and great for gift giving.… (mere)
Mr .Wonderful inspired me to read this after watching the movie.

The first-person story of a ballerina who plays Clara in the Boston Ballet Nutcracker. Her older and younger sisters are also dancers. There are lots of good photos of the dancers and costumes.

A nice glimpse into the behind-the-scenes of one girl's journey playing Clara in The Nutcracker. This book would be great for aspiring ballet dancers or to share with kids about to go see the show. It would have been strengthened by some back matter (a glossary of ballet terms, a list of books for further reading).
