Description
Three different editions of the children's book originally published in 1890, includes two copies of the 1927 edition inspired by the Baby Peggy role in the 1924 version of that film, and a 1932 edition gifted to Shirley Temple in anticipation of her role in the 1936 version of the film. The book was gifted by family friend Marian E. Bates who ink-inscribed the message "To Shirley - with the sincere wish she will be able to portray ‘Starbright' for her many friends, old and young."
