Description
12" (30 cm.) x 10 1/2". The gold-finished hardbound book titled "Coronation Souvenir Book 1937" has 176 pages of photographs and stories relating to the British coronation of King George VI and his Scottish wife, Queen Elizabeth. The Scottish connection deemed the coronation especially meaningful to the Glascow Chum Club of which Shirley Temple had been made an honorary member. This book was presented to Shirley by the Chum Club on her 10th birthday inscribed "Birthday Present 23 April 1938, To Chum Leader, Shirley Jane Temple, From Chum Leader Robert Robertson" on the inside front cover, and "To Chum Leader Shirley Jane Temple, From Chum Leader Robert Robertson, with Love and Kisses" on the inside back cover.
