Ballet Shoes, the film, is based on Noel Streatfeild’s children’s book.
Ballet Shoes: a story of three children on the stage is a children’s novel by Noel Streatfeild, published by Dent in 1936. It was her first book for children and it inaugurated the “Shoes” series (1936 to 1962) that has been popular worldwide.
Streatfeild and Ballet Shoes were a commended runner up for the inaugural Carnegie Medal from the Library Association, recognising the year’s best British children’s book by a British subject. She won the Medal for the third novel in the series, The Circus Is Coming, also published as Circus Shoes.
