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. -Mary Gould Davis for The Saturday Review of Literature.
