Noel Streatfeild Mary Noel Streatfeild OBE (24 December 1895 –11 September 1986), was an English author, best known for children's books including the "Shoes" books, which were not a series. Random House, the U.S. publisher of the 1936 "Ballet Shoes" (1936), published some of Streatfeild's subsequent children's books using the word "Shoes" in their titles, to capitalize on the popularity of Ballet Shoes; thus "Circus Shoes", "Party Shoes" (in Britain, "Party Frock"). She won the third annual Carnegie Medal for "The Circus Is Coming", also published as "Circus Shoes". She was a member of the historic Streatfeild family.
