Product Description

Review

“Noel Streatfeild’s position in the children’s book world is unique. She is endlessly inventive, full of verve and real understanding of the surfaces of childhood. Her stories are rich in documentary interest and entertainment, escapism of a most satisfying sort.”
TLS

“Written for unalloyed enjoyment. Authenticity blends beautifully with romance. Children will love it.”
Daily Telegraph

Product Description

No one knows who Margaret Thursday is, because she was found as a baby on the church steps, on a Thursday. But Margaret is sure that she is somebody, and that one day she will be famous.

Im 15 years old and I love this book so much I can't put it down. I find it really intresting and you just want to keep reading. My mum advised me to read this book because she read it as a child and really enjoyed it and I think if I have a daughter when im older I will advise her to read this book aswell.

By S. Barnes TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
Delightful story of young Margaret Thursday, who has to go off to an orphanage when the money for her upkeep runs out. Just as important to the story are the siblings, Lavinia, Peter, and little Horatio, who meet Margaret for the first time when they are all waiting together to be taken to the orphanage. Beautifully written, creatively thought-out; a novel that's truly fun to escape to!

"Well," said Margaret, "I'm not properly an orphan. I was found on a Thursday in a basket on the church step with three of everything of the very best quality."
The Beresfords were thrilled.
"How romantic!", said Lavinia.
Peter looked admiringly at Margaret. "So you could be absolutely anybody?"
"That's right," Margaret agreed. "And until this Christmas every year gold money was left in the church in a bag to keep me."
"And nobody saw who left it?" Lavinia asked.
"Never."
"My goodness," said Peter. "It's like a book."

I had a well-loved copy of "Ballet shoes" when I was younger, but never discovered any of Noel Streatfeild's other books... until now. I'm going on a hunt to find some more!!

I read this book many years ago as a child and loved it. It was one of my favourite Noel Streatfeilds. It made me even more curious about children of victorian times.
