Torvill & Dean

208 pp. "Athletic, balletic, gymnastic, melodic--on so many levels have Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean rightfully earned themselves a very special place in the hearts of the British public. With their interpretive flair and technical brilliance, they have brought the sport of ice dancing to a new peak of excellence, and focused the world's attention on its exquisite grace, excitement and beauty. This lively and absorbing biography tells the complete story of their meteoric rise to fame. How sheer hard work and determination won them their first World Championship in 1981 and they then went on to set dazzling new standards with their interpretations of Mack & Mabel (1982), Barnum on Ice (1983), and their latest, hypnotic Bolero (1984) which has won them the 1984 European Championship and that much-coveted Olyumpic gold medal in Sarajevo."
