Orion Children's Books Ballet Shoes

The story is a nice rags to riches story about three young girls growing up in London between the wars. Adopted by a now unfortunately disappeared paleontologist the Fossil children Pauline, Petrova and Posy struggle against poverty to succeed in film and theatre, ballet and... well actually Petrova's not that keen on the arts. A touching and sometimes funny book much enjoyed by my daughter. I hope I've remembered all that right.

I bought this book for myself as I loved the cover, it’s such a lovely story about 3 children in an unconventional family. The family are struggling with money, but still want to make sure the children have a good education. There are 2 other books with similar covers which I also bought-Bedknobs and Broomsticks and The Borrowers.

Lovely edition, bought as a gift so I was very pleased.The book itself is a favourite from my own childhood.

A Favorite no ok from my childhood to pass onto another little dancer - exactly as advertised.

This was a book that I had read as a child and loved it, I bought it for my Godchild Grace on her sixth birthday. It was a lovely book with a good hardback and tied up nicely with a purple bow.it was very well received Mum had to read it to her and it has become a favourite.
