A Child’s Garden of Verses

FROM SARAH:

A lovely collection of Robert Louis Stevenson's poetry, illustrated by the remarkable Gyo Fujikawa. (Don't miss the picture book biography all about Gyo—it would a perfect pairing with this book!)

FROM THE PUBLISHER: 

Originally published in 1885, A Child’s Garden of Verses has served as a wonderful introduction to poetry for each new generation. Stevenson’s beloved poems celebrate childhood in all its complexity and joy, from the sunny pleasures of “At the Seaside,” to the imaginative musings of “Foreign Lands” to the playful, ever-popular “My Shadow.”
