A child´s garden of verses

Robert Louis Stevenson, famed author of Treasure Island and Kidnapped, captures the spirit of childhood in this classic collection of children's verse.

Celebrating his own memories of being a child, these lyrical, perceptive, often funny poems describe the world around him, from the sights and sounds of garden and nursery to gentle philosophical thoughts and exciting, imaginary journeys to exotic lands. 

Beautifully illustrated by Millicent Sowerby, these much loved poems are as popular now as when they were first published over a century ago.
