'Elvis at 13'

"The life-sized bronze statue of 'Elvis at 13' stands close to his birthplace in Tupelo Mississippi USA. It is there because of a letter I a Dubliner sent to Larry K Otis the Mayor of that city suggesting a statue of Elvis as a boy would be a great tourist attraction. It certainly has been. The statuette was sent to me as a gift by the sculptor, Michiel Vander Sommen. "
