Not Just Another Swan: The Life of Dancer Silvia Ebert

By Angela Wigglesworth

It was 1945 and 19-year-old Silvia Ashmole stood in a London phone box to tell her parents of a dream come true; she had won a coveted place in the Royal Ballet.

In Not Just Another Swan, Silvia, now 92, tells her extraordinary life story: her 1930s childhood, dodging doodlebugs in war-time London, dancing with Margot Fonteyn, Moira Shearer, Audrey Hepburn and Julie Andrews.

Married to Peter Ebert, opera director and son of Carl Ebert, Glyndebourne's first artist
