  • "Apadrinadas por un anciano paleontólogo que lleva años viajando por el mundo, Pauline, Petrova y Posy han crecido al cuidado de una tutora y de una niñera. Estamos en Londres, en los años treinta. Pauline sueña con ser actriz, Petrova lee cuanto puede sobre coches, aviones y motores, y Posy podría pasarse el día entero bailando, pero la ausencia prolongada de su benefactor dificulta gravemente la situació́n econó́mica de las niñas. Por eso, cuando se presenta la ocasió́n de formarse y trabajar como actrices profesionales, las tres hermanas no dejarñn escapar la oportunidad. Con su talento, esfuerzo e ilusió́n lograrñn costear los gastos familiares, conseguirñn triunfos inesperados, aprenderñn a valorar la generosidad, la independencia, y, sobre todo, a desconfiar del éxito como única meta.Un verdadero clñsico de la literatura juvenil inglesa, Las zapatillas de ballet ha estado disponible en las librerías del Reino Unido desde su publicació́n en 1936. En 2007 se convirtió́ en un telefilme para la BBC protagonizado por Emma Watson."
