Can the friendship between Harriet, who skates for fun, and Lalla Moore, future world champion, survive the threat from Lallas formidable Aunt Claudia?
"Noel Streatfeild's position in the children's book world is uniqueShe is endlessly inventive, full of verve and real understanding of the surfaces of childhood. Her stories are rich in documentary interest and entertainment, escapism of a most satisfying sort." TLS "Noel Streatfeild is an author who is a true master of her craft." Illustrated London News "White Boots. Author: Noel (Ballet Shoes) Streatfeild. And you know we might very well leave it at that -- for what higher recommendation is wanted? Noel Streatfeild has that happy, skilful knack of turning her characters into real people -- something which only really good novelists can do. A first-rate book." BBC Children's Hour
Noel Streatfeild grew up in a vicarage. Her father eventually became Bishop of Lewes. Noel trained as an actress, and acted for nine years before writing her first book, for adults. She did not write her first (and most famous) children’s book until 1936 – Ballet Shoes. Thereafter she wrote more than thirty other children’s books, some of which were televised, and all of which were hugely popular. Noel died in 1986.
