Samira Ahmed chooses Ballet Shoes by Noel Streatfeild More about this book: “If other girls had to be one of us, which of us they’d choose to be?” For the past nearly ninety years young readers have been dreaming of being Pauline, Petrova or Posy Fossil. Noel Streatfeild (1895 – 1986) had no intention of writing for children until she was cajoled into it by her publisher. In 1936 Ballet Shoes was published with its delicate line drawings by her sister, Ruth Jervis, and it has never been out of print. In it Streatfeild drew on her own experience of the triumphs and disappointments of life on the stage.
