Angelina's Christmas

Angelina and her cousin Henry show true Christmas spirit when they visit old Mr Bell, the retired postman who lives all alone. Their generosity is rewarded when they discover that there is a real Father Christmas living right in their village!

Angelina's Ice Skates

Angelina is busy preparing for the Ice Dance with her friends Alice, Flora, and Felicity. Cousin Henry tries to help too, but nothing goes right. And the rehearsals are disrupted when two big boys from school tease the ballerinas. More than a few snowballs fly before Angelina finds a way to ensure the success of the show.

A bit more about Angelina

Angelina Ballerina, created by author Katharine Holabird and illustrator Helen Craig, is a fictional mouse who features in a popular series of children's books. The first book in the series was published in 1982, and there have since been over twenty books in the series.

In 2002, an animated TV series of 39 fifteen minute episodes based on the books was produced by HIT Entertainment in the United Kingdom. The series featured actress Finty Williams as the voice of Angelina, and her mother Judi Dench as Miss Lily. The series aired on PBS in the United States and can currently be seen on Nick Jr. and PBS Kids Sprout.

English National Ballet took a live version of Angelina Ballerina called Angelina's Star Performance on tour in autumn 2007. It was a fairly short ballet aimed at children.
