In the middle of World War II, Selina moves to the countryside to live with her aunts, uncles and cousins. A parcel from her godmother in the United States brings a dress and party shoes, but there seems to be no occasion to wear them. Selina and her cousins then decide to put on a show with music and dance, with a very special part for her.
Fifth installment of Noel Streatfeild's «Shoes» series, originally published in 1945 as «Party Frock» and collected in the Oxford Children's Classics series.
Aimed at young readers from 9 years old and at those who enjoy children's classics set during World War II.
Mary Noel Streatfeild was an English author, best known for children's books including the "Shoes" books, which were not a series. Random House, the U.S. publisher of the 1936 novel Ballet Shoes (1936), published some of Streatfeild's subsequent children's books using the word "Shoes" in their titles, to capitalise on the popularity of Ballet Shoes; thus Circus Shoes, Party Shoes, Skating Shoes and many more. She won the third annual Carnegie Medal for The Circus Is Coming.
