Description

Two episodes from the Shirley Temple Storybook series. But don't let Shirley's name fool you, she isn't in the series, just the host from the 1960-61.

These fun teleplays are taken from literature, nursery rhymes and music. The quality is very good for the era due to the fact that the series was done on film. The two teleplays on this disc are:

PIPPI LONGSTOCKING (Season 2 Episode #15): Astrid Lindgren's colourful, fearless young heroine comes to life thanks to a perfectly-cast Gina Gillespie). We follow Pippi on several adventures with her neighbours Tommy (Gregory Irvin) and Annika (Kelly Smith), including a day at school where Pippi matches wits with teacher Miss Lindquist, and a visit to a carnival with Tor Johnson as the strong-man!

KIM (Season 2 Episode #2): Shirley Temple must have especially loved this episode, as it was repeated several times during the run of SHIRLEY TEMPLE'S STORYBOOK series. Based on the Rudyard Kipling novel, the story follows the incredible adventure of one small boy (Tony Haig) upon whose shoulders rested the entire fate of the British army. Co-starring Michael Rennie and Alan Napier.
