To classify The Dance of Life as a book of philosophy, as a spiritual autobiography or even as a book of personal affirmations does it scant justice. It is all of these and more. It is a book of aspiration, of growth and of revelation, written by a man who has partaken of life and contributed to its wisdom, grace and idealism. The Dance of Life may be considered the crowning achievement of Havelock Ellis's life; it epitomizes his spirit and
his work.
