Almost certainly my favourite childhood novel. I read it and re-read it over and over again. My dream as a child was to be either a ballet dancer or an actress, so Ballet Shoes was perfect for me (as were other books by Noel Streatfeild, especially the Gemma series) and Lorna Hill's Sadlers Wells series. Well, I became neither a dancer nor an actress, but my love for the performing arts has endured, as has my love for this book.

If I'm not reading or dawdling aimlessly around the World Wide Interweb, then I'm baking a cake or thinking about baking a cake. Or else I'm thinking about where I'd like to travel to next.
