Book Cover & Preview Text
A long time ago, on a narrow London street, there was a shoe shop. It was an old Edwardian building with a green front door and it had stood there for nearly half a century, wedged between the bookshop and the antiques dealer, opposite the No. 18 bus stop to Euston Square. The street seemed as narrow as any other, and the shoe shop appeared as ordinary as any other, but appearances can be deceiving for the shop was anything but ordinary...

About the Book
This story begins with Charlotte and an ordinary shoe shop on a narrow London street. It's a shoe shop everyone has walked past a thousand times before, including Charlotte, an ordinary little girl who likes to stop to look at the ballet shoes in the window. Charlotte's biggest dream in the world is to learn ballet but without a ballet lesson to her name, nor a pair of ballet shoes to dance in, her dream seems very unlikely. But the shoe shop is not quite as ordinary as Charlotte first thought and the mystical story-telling shopkeeper tells her to keep believing in her dreams. Remembering the shop keeper's magical words, and with her great determination, Charlotte gets her ballet shoes and sees her greatest wish granted!
Another enchanting story from a collection of colour illustrated books by Hannah Frank. llustrated by Fred Falk (USA).
