Discover the spellbinding magic of Swan Lake in this musical retelling of the ballet - push the button on each beautiful scene to hear the vivid sound of an orchestra playing from Tchaikovsky's score.This tale of a prince, a beautiful swan princess and an evil sorcerer begins in a woodland clearing far, far away. It is Prince Siegfried's 21st birthday. He is playing games with his friends when his mother, the Queen, arrives to tell him he needs to stop having fun and start looking after the kingdom. Prince Siegfried dreams of running away.
He follows an enchanting flock of swans to a clearing by a lake, where four of the little cygnets begin to dance. The most beautiful swan transforms into the Princess Odette, who tells him that she has been cursed to turn into a swan by day and return to her natural form at night by the evil sorcerer Von Rothbart. As the prince and Odette dance, they begin to fall in love.
The story follows Prince Siegfried as he attends his birthday party, is tricked into proposing to Von Rothbart's daughter Odile and returns to the lake to battle the evil sorcerer. Will the prince be reunited with his swan princess?

At the back of the book, find a short biography of the composer, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, with details about his composition of Swan Lake. Next to this, you can replay the musical excerpts and, for each of them, read a discussion of the instruments, rhythms and musical techniques that make them so powerful.

Beautiful tie at a great price!
I did receive this set via the Vine program, and my thanks to the manufacturer/seller and Amazon for providing it! I used to be a "Nothing but silk for my neckties" type, but this tie as "just" polyester is every bit as good, and much cheaper. The fabric is so nice that nobody could tell it isn't silk, and the stripes aren't just a simple one-color pattern, but a couple of different colors to add a little more oomph.
And the price is more than right: you could pay two or three times this price at a department store.

Sleek, professional look, goes well with blue and grey stuff! Probably dark suits too.
I might not like wearing ties (I do not), but sometimes, I get roped into having to go somewhere and slip on a tie... I really try to keep ye ole wardrobe very simplistic. Grey and a blue blazer. I have a couple of
"fancy" suits, but I try to avoid wearing them...
Then, when I do, I want them to look sharp, and a nice tie will help to bring it all together as they say!
This is a very sharp looking tie, and it blends in great with my grey and blue outfits.
Sure it is a tie, but being that it looks so sharp, and just perfectly matches the outfits? I love it.
Five Stars!

Cheap Polyester Tie
I’m not sure there is such thing as a “premium” polyester but the fabric feels rather cheap and the width of the tie is rather thin. Probably good for a kid to use, but I wouldn’t use this for work or business and would apply the moved saved trying to get a cheap tie into a nicer silk tie.
Pros:
- Inexpensive
Cons:
- Cheap polyester fabric
- Narrow width
