Dive into the enchanting story of Pauline, Posy, and Petrova Fossil, three orphans who find a home in a London mansion under the care of a mysterious benefactor. Despite being different in personality and aspirations—Pauline dreams of theater, Posy of ballet, and Petrova of airplanes—the Fossil sisters face economic challenges that force them to unite. Together, they discover that their talent and peculiarity may be the key to becoming the new sensation of London theater. 'Ballet Shoes' is a classic of English literature that celebrates family ties and the importance of pursuing dreams.
Mary Noel Streatfeild was an English author, best known for children's books including the "Shoes" books, which were not a series. Random House, the U.S. publisher of the 1936 novel Ballet Shoes (1936), published some of Streatfeild's subsequent children's books using the word "Shoes" in their titles, to capitalise on the popularity of Ballet Shoes; thus Circus Shoes, Party Shoes, Skating Shoes and many more. She won the third annual Carnegie Medal for The Circus Is Coming.
