THE PRAIRIE DANCERS

Posie Victoria Vandermark is the most adored young woman in Possum Trot, in all of Prairie Dog County. She is also the wealthiest. Her passion of the time is to become a ballerina, in her white tutu, tiara and satin slippers -- no matter that she is a bit monumental, heftily buxom, tone dead and clumsy. She dreams of Baryshnikov carrying her to the feet of Degas' ballerinas, petit and pastel.
