Overview: NOEL STREATFEILD was born on Christmas Eve in 1885. She was the second daughter of the Bishop of Lewes, and she grew up a strong-willed and difficult child (a story she tells in A Vicarage Family). From an early age she was determined to become an actor, and indeed attended the Academy of Dramatic Art, before performing for nine years in the West End and abroad.
It was a sudden decision to become an, and at first she wrote only for adults. In 1936, however, she wrote Ballet Shoes, her most famous book, and two years later won the prestigious Carnegie Medal for The Circus is Coming. She then planned to write children’s and adult novels alternately, but her success as a children’s made this impossible.
Although Noel had no children herself, she never failed to supply the kind of book that children wanted to read. She put this down to the fact that she could remember very vividly being a child herself, and that she had a ‘blotting-paper memory’!
