Presented here in a beautiful, illustrated edition, this collection of poems by the author of Treasure Island is one of the most influential works of nineteenth-century children’s literature.

First published in 1885, A Child’s Garden of Verses has never ceased to be an essential title of children’s literature. Stevenson's verses capture the feelings of children—of being small, the bliss of going up in a swing, discovering one's shadow, and happiness, sorrow and, dreaming. Robinson's pictures, which originally appeared in the 1896 first illustrated edition, beautifully illuminate Stevenson’s poems.

      A plethora of poetry books arrive just in time for National Poetry Month. Now available in a board book edition, A Child's Garden of Verses, compiled by Cooper Edens, pairs eight of Robert Louis Stevenson's poems with turn-of-the-century illustrations to captivate a child's imagination. For instance, "Happy Thought" ("The world is so full of a number of things,/ I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings") is embedded like a placard within a pen-and-ink by E. Mars (1900), while opposite, a 1940 illustration by Ruth Mary Hallock depicts a happy assembly of children and kittens, gathering for a snack break after a game of croquet.
