White Boots | Litsy

pick

A charming story of two young girls, Harriet & Lalla, navigating the ups & downs of competitive skating and friendship. Streatfeild‘s writing is lovely, and her humor is dry and witty. My daughter & I read this one together, and she currently places this one on her top-5. ☺️ #50in50

A wintery vintage children‘s read with a side of tea and Cadbury Fingers.

And yes… I did eat three more while opening the packet.

Tamra Good for you! 😋 3mo

LeahBergen @Tamra @BarbaraBB I knew you two would have my back. 😆 3mo

LeahBergen @Ruthiella Dang, you have an impressive memory. 😆😆 I had to follow the hashtag to see what book I used it on. Yes, this one would fall into that category but to a much lesser degree than the old school stories. 😆 3mo

willaful One of my favs, and also my mom's. She used to ice dance and was quite a Lala. 😁 3mo

batsy I love this book *and* Cadbury Fingers equally 😆 A lovely photo 💖 3mo

Cathythoughts Lovely 🥰 3mo

MaureenMc I love everything about this photo. 🥰 3mo

LeahBergen @willaful I‘m more of a Harriet. 😆 3mo

LeahBergen @batsy 😆 I‘m feeling that way myself right now! 3mo

LeahBergen @Cathythoughts Thanks, Cathy! 😘 3mo

LeahBergen @MaureenMc Aww, thanks! 😘 3mo

willaful The funny thing is, we are both Harriet types generally, but gives us an audience and boom, the inner Lala's come out. 😁 3mo

LeahBergen @willaful Love it! 😆 3mo

rubyslippersreads Perfect photo! 3mo

Centique Ohhhh the cover of that one! 😍 3mo

I appreciate that this one diverges from Streatfeild's formula ever so slightly! #childrenslit

#anditsaugust day 15: #twowordtitles
One can always count on Noel Streatfeild for some lovely two-word titles. Some of her other two-word titles I've read include: Tennis Shoes, Apple Bough and Curtain Up

Mamashep And I never see his books without thinking of You've Got Mail! 6y

RealLifeReading @batsy I just adore her books. And I'm a bit sad that my mum gave my childhood copies away! 6y

RealLifeReading @Redwritinghood love them! 6y

RealLifeReading @Kitty_Rochsmith Ballet Shoes was from BookDepository a while back but I think they may not have this version anymore. I can't remember exactly where I got White Boots from. I think I may have chanced upon it at Book Outlet 6y

White Boots | Noel Streatfeild

These were passed on to me by my sister. The covers are not great but I'm so fond of them because these were the books I read and reread obsessively when I was young. #childhoodread #riotgrams

rockpools 😍I had the same editions of ballet shoes and white boots. LOVED them. Only discovered (with Litsy) just how many books she's written. 6y

LeahBergen I love Streatfeild's books. ❤️ 6y

batsy @RachelO Nice! They are treasured editions indeed. The thing about her books is that some of the US titles have been changed so I'm often confused as to what I've read and what I've not. 6y

batsy @LeahBergen She is wonderful ❤️ 6y
