The full moon rises over the palm trees of a small Balinese village as a young girl, Ayu, performs the traditional Indonesian dance, the Legong.

An atmospheric book by award-winning author David Cox, which tells how a young girl in Indonesia once performed the beautiful Legong dance for her village.

Be transported into the heart of Balinese village life, as you hear elderly dance instructor Ayu's story of her childhood experiences. The thudding drums, banging gongs, tinkling gamelan and the bamboo flute create a truly atmospheric background to this wonderfully cultural story about traditional Balinese music, dance and village life.
Written beautifully by award-winning author David Cox, Ayu and the Perfect Moon is a story to be treasured.
