Margot Fonteyn born plain Peggy Hookham was dreamed into existence
by the architects of British ballet: Ninette de Valois, Frederick
Ashton and Constant Lambert. Carried to fame on a wave of wartime
patriotism, Margot's sense of duty rather than ambition propelled
her forward. Yet her gifts were such that her pre-eminence would
come to eclipse the careers of subsequent generations. Ballet is a
fairytale world; if Margot, like the pure and poetic heroine of
Swan Lake, was a natural Odette, she would also have to contend
with virtue's raw shadow-side in the guise of Constant Lambert,
Roberto Arias and Rudolph Nureyev the men who, like Von Rothbart,
were to take possession of her heart.
