Re: Lorna Hill « Result #2 on Nov 18, 2009, 10:30am »
Oh I was in love with Sebastian Scott for years! those eyes - "so dark they looked almost black" !! Love all the SW books, especially the first 5. The last two (particularly Vicki in Venice) are very hard to find, I am still searching for copies that are not £100+! may have to give in and pay it sometime! Does anyone know whether there is a Lorna Hills/Sadler's Wells fansite/forum? Thanks for any info, Marielouise x

I have tried, but never made it to the end of this book. Something is lacking in this story. I tried to like Selina, but never took to her. NS has written modest, self effacing heroines like Myra from Apple Bough, and I cheered them on.

There is a limit on how many weeks/months a child can be in a professional show. West End musicals have to re-cast their child roles every so often. I think they can rehire the same children after so many months.

Yes, it's on my shelf and gets taken out and read sometimes. Poor old Selina, definitely self-effacing. She has learned, like many English children, just to fit in and cooperate. That's a big part of wartime culture - teamwork and cooperation, even if you don't feel you belong.

I bought a copy of Ballet Shoes in London a few years ago. Now that the BBC has made another adaptation I expect it will be even more easily found online or in book shops. Best of luck finding it!

Re: Upper Class books « Result #7 on Nov 6, 2009, 9:39am »
Upper class will need to be about people with titles, the aristocracy. More of the traditional English children's books are about upper middle class children, not necessarily rich, but with a background of expectation of some education and cultural refinement.

By 'The Vicarage Family' I assume you mean the Bell Family. Streatfeild makes a point of referring to the parents as Cathy and Alec (Alex?) because it's a book about the whole family. In different chapters we see things from the pont of view of different members of the family.
