Review: Arrived on time - Wonderful story arrived on time and in excellent condition Review: Ballet Shoes - I originally read this story when I was around eight and it's one of those childhood books that I have been meaning to get hold of again and add to my library and I am so glad that I did. They recently did a television adaption of the book which although brilliant just doesn't compare to the book. A timeless story that I have once again really enjoyed reading. The story is about the three Fossil sisters Pauline, Petrova and Posy and how they became to be sisters as they were adopted by their Great Uncle Matthew on his travels otherwise know as GUM. The name Fossil is one they picked themselves and they vow to get into the history books as the name is their very own and no one can say it's because of their ancestors. A really really charming and lovely book that took me back to reading under the duvet with my torch when I was meant to be asleep! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 489,855 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 175 in Classics for Children 560 in Children's Music, Plays & Stories | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,047) | | Dimensions | 12.7 x 1.02 x 13.97 cm | | Edition | Unabridged | | Grade level | 1 - 2 | | ISBN-10 | 1846071135 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1846071133 | | Item weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Part of series | The Shoe Books | | Print length | 1 pages | | Publication date | 7 Aug. 2006 | | Publisher | BBC Physical Audio | | Reading age | 8 - 11 years, from customers | ## Images ![Ballet Shoes (BBC Children's Classics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/812u8O3RRyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Arrived on time *by T***M on 15 September 2025* Wonderful story arrived on time and in excellent condition ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ballet Shoes *by M***O on 16 September 2011* I originally read this story when I was around eight and it's one of those childhood books that I have been meaning to get hold of again and add to my library and I am so glad that I did.

We all loved it. The language used, currency and education received by the 3 sisters needed some explanation to my daughters but they hung on every description of this bygone era. It seemed a less complicated time where children were closer to nature, camping and picnics were so much more fun and delicious and the moods and emotions of the 3 very unique sisters, still easy to relate to. We learned about Shakespeare plays and are now reading a children's version of A Mid Summer Night's Dream. My girls enjoyed the movie but the book far more so. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/50920718-ballet-shoes-bbc-childrens-classics](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/50920718-ballet-shoes-bbc-childrens-classics) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
