The novel was originally published in 1951, and it definitely has a more classic feel to the writing. Skating Shoes by Noel Streatfeild is a charming novel about two friends, Lalla and Harriet, who experience the world of ice skating together. Then, in March, I saw that Random House re-released Skating Shoes and I HAD to get my hands on it. I would look for it in Barnes and Nobles (it’s weird remembering a time before Kindle and Prime) but I was never able to find it. On the drive home I was transported into those English, theatrical worlds.Ī few years later, a friend of mine mentioned her favorite of those books was Skating Shoes. I can still remember walking around a book store and finding three books that immediately became my favorites: Ballet Shoes, Theater Shoes, and Dancing Shoes.
I was fortunate to be very close to my maternal grandparents growing up and one summer they took us girls to Cape Cod for a week. We could just love the characters, the story, or it’s associated with memories. As readers, we all have books we re-read.
