Ballet Shoes

The first printing sold out almost immediately after 28 September 1936 and Dent reprinted quickly; later printings are identified by their jackets, which state the printing. Auction records catalogue first-edition sheets housed in a "third printing" dust-jacket — the married later-jacket copy is the standing trap for this title. Later Dent, Puffin, Collins and the American Diane Goode-illustrated reissues are plain reprints. No dedicated book-club issue of the 1936 Dent first is documented in the sources consulted.
