Dances and Dreams on Diamond Street

<p><b>An offbeat, funny and heartwarming romantic novel from the fabulous King of <i>Strictly</i>, Craig Revel Horwood.</b><br><br>Set against the colourful boho backdrop of London's Camden in the 1990s, Craig Revel Horwood's first novel, <i>Dances and Dreams on Diamond Street</i>, tells the story of an unlikely family of friends who each rent a room in a ramshackle six-bedroom, four-storey townhouse. Like any family, the residents of Diamond Street sometimes fights and often act up but when the chips are down, they're there for each other in an instant – usually brandishing a cheap bottle of booze, and the offer of an impromptu kitchen disco. <br><br>Presided over by the wise-cracking but warm-hearted patriarch of the family, Danny Hall, a professional dancer turned choreographer, the novel follows a year in the life of the inhabitants of Diamond Street, rough diamonds one and all, as they try to achieve their dreams – with unexpected, heart-warming and sometimes hilarious results.</p>

Craig Revel Horwood is a critically acclaimed dancer, director and choreographer. He is also an accomplished artist. He has been a member of the judging panel on BBC’s <i>Strictly Come Dancing </i>since it began in 2004.
