Product Description
Two complete stories in one book: both were from films starring child star Shirley Temple. Both stories include black and white illustrations from her famous movies. When Captain January was first published, critics called it a masterpiece that "should be put on a shelf together with Robinson Crusoe, Alice in Wonderland, Black Beauty and other stories which have survived among children's literature." It is the story of Star Bright (played by Shirley Temple) whose parents were drowned in a shipwreck. Star Bright herself, then just a toddler, was resuced by Captain January of Light Island. What happened after that makers a heart-warming tale that readers of all ages will enjoy.
The Little Colonel (played by Shirley Temple) is an impulsive little Kentucky girl who is determined to bring about a reconciliation between her lonely grandfather and his only daughter, The Little Colonel's mother. The story of how she accomplishes this has been a favorite with millions of readers.
