White Boots by Noel Streatfeild
4.0

I'm embarrassed to say that despite being a big reader as a child (including classics) I didn't know that there were 'Shoes' books by Noel Streatfeild other than Ballet Shoes until I saw You've Got Mail. I know, I'm disgusted with me too. And despite now being aware of their existence it's still taken me YEARS to read one of them!

I really enjoyed this. I bought it on a whim in a charity shop and saved it for a rainy day - a muscle spasm in my hip last week left me feeling very sorry for myself and this was exactly the kind of cosy tale I needed as a pick me up! It's no Ballet Shoes, but that holds a special place in my heart so I shan't hold that against it. If you've ever read any Noel Streatfeild it's exactly what you would expect, and I say that as a good thing!
