Description
9" (23 cm.) x 11". A ribbon-bound handmade book by two young girls, Mary Boyd and Ellen Stocker, relates a poignant story of two Shirley Temple dolls which they once owned. The story is illustrated with small snapshots they took of the dolls in various costumes. Attached to the inside front cover is a handwritten letter from Mary to Shirley Temple, telling about the making of the book and noting, "I know it isn't much of a gift." Evidently, Shirley Temple felt otherwise, cherishing it her entire life.
