Gentle and sweetly humoured, this is another addition to the divine Ruby Red Shoes library—and another tale that will delight with its charming narrative and adorable illustrations.

— Tania McCartney, Kids' Book Review

Ruby Red Shoes Goes to London 10th Anniversary Edition by Kate Knapp is a beautiful new edition of a true fan-favourite classic, complete with gorgeously vivid illustrations and nostalgic charm.

Ruby and her grandmother love to travel, and now they are in London, the home of red buses and letter boxes, and where Ruby's red shoes fit right in. There is so much to discover in London, and Ruby spends many happy days exploring the sights. Ruby delights in all that this wonderful city has to offer, especially as she can share it with her family.

But she also loves her chickens and her grandmother's cosy caravan, and in her heart, Ruby knows there is no place like home.

The third book in the best-selling Ruby Red Shoes series!
