What a wonderful book! :<) I'll bet you could use it in class! If you go to bookfinder.com you can find copies for less than $5. I also noticed there is a "Shirley temple" edition. This must be the basis for her movie. I wonder what changes if any were made in the 1930s from the 1914 play. Bet you could get some good discussion in classs about that!
