This is surely the outstanding record
for little boys and girls of the
coronation of Elizabeth II of England.
It tells of how Michael and his little
horseman, Freddie, watched the procession
and the Queen in her coach
drive by on their way to Westminster
Abbey. Here, printed in bright red
and black, are the London bobbies, the
foot guards, the soldiers, and finally
the royal coach and the Queen. Here
are the people who watched on that
exciting rainy day. Here is London as
Michael and Freddie saw it. And here,
most important of all, is Freddie, who
practically managed the entire affair.
It is a gay and jolly picture book that
registers for all time an historic event.
