BALLET SHOES

Book cover is very dirty, doesn't give at all a new look.

This is a very sweet story - there is a reason why this book is so beloved to many. Perfect for someone about 13-15.

Le livre reçu ne correspond pas à la photo , mais a été offert et a fait plaisir à la petite. C'est le texte de ce magnifique livre qui compte le plus . Merci bien.

The book itself is of course, a wonderful story, so that stands alone. My review is mostly for this special hardback edition. I originally read this book in a dreadful paperback edition with cheesy illustrations and on a trip to London I was browsing in Hatchards and found this edition. I had to have it. When my granddaughter became old enough to read it, I wanted to get one for her and was absolutely delighted to find this special edition on Amazon--my granddaughter actually gasped when she opened it.

Libro bonito e interesante

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.
