Party Frock by Anna Zinkeisen, Noel Streatfeild
3.0
Party Frock tells the story of the Andrews family in England, 1945 getting up a pageant. The reason for the pageant: their cousin, Selina, who lives woth the family has received a party frock which she has no chance of wearing, thanks to WWII having stopped any and all parties to which such a dress could be worn.
While the book is a delight to read, it can stir up a bit of anxiety, even irritation on behalf of the children, and especially Selina, as the pageant is taken over by a young man with grand ideas.
After a twist at the end, wverything is happily resolved and the strings of everyone's stories are neatly tied up.
