Description
The hardbound book, published by Lothrop, Lee & Shepard in 1958, was written by Carol Mills, headmistress at Westlake School for Girls during the time of Shirley Temple's studies. The book is inscribed on the frontispiece "To my goddaughter Shirley for whom the story was written in the first place. Carol Mills". According to a chapter in her autobiography, Child Star, Shirley Temple's mother had cajoled the headmistress into teaching Shirley "ladylike deportment".
