Ballet shoes book5/22/2023 ![]() I did have ballet lessons for a while, but it was never a passion for me, so a book about three girls who attend a stage school wouldn’t be the first book you would have picked out for me to fall in love with. I was never a particularly girly girl growing up. Things look bleak until they hit on an inspired idea: Pauline, Petrova and Posy will take to the stage.īut it’s not long before the Fossils learn that being a star isn’t as easy as they first thought… ![]() The girls grow up in comfort until their money begins to run out and nobody can find Great Uncle Matthew. ![]() All three were adopted as babies by Great Uncle Matthew, an eccentric and rich explorer who then disappeared, leaving them in the care of his niece Sylvia. Pauline, Petrova and Posy Fossil are sisters – with a difference. I am talking about Ballet Shoes by Noel Streatfeild. This time we have come forward in time and closer to home to read about the three Fossil sisters living in London in the first half of the twentieth century. ![]() I was obviously obsessed with reading about the lives of other young girls living in other times during my own formative years. It’s time for March’s Desert Island Children’s Book and I can see a theme forming in my last three choices. ![]()
