It's Angelina's birthday and there's going to be a party. But when
Angelina breaks her bicycle while racing her best friend, Alice, she
thinks the day will be ruined. Angelina is upset, but her parents
encourage her to save up for a new one by doing jobs for people in the
village. The day of the party arrives and Angelina gets a wonderful
birthday surprise - a brand-new bicycle!
Katharine Holabird grew up in Chicago, USA, where she remembers
dancing around the house with her three sisters, just like Angelina. She
went to Bennington College in Vermont and then spent three years as a
journalist in Italy, before moving to England. She wrote her first
Angelina book, Angelina Ballerina, in 1982. Katharine has three grown-up
children and lives in London with her husband. Helen Craig was born in
London, but grew up in the country. She became an apprentice
photographer aged sixteen and went on to set up her own studio, as well
as working as a freelance potter and sculptor. Helen has illustrated
over sixty children's books and her magical illustrations for the
Angelina Ballerina series are famous around the world. Helen has a
grown-up son, and lives in Cambridge.
