A Child’s Garden of Verses
Unabridged
Easy-to-Read Type
Scottish novelist, poet and essayist Robert Louis Stevenson dedicated "A Child's Garden of Verses" to Alison Cunningham, the nurse of his early childhood years in Edinburgh--a time whose essence he strove to recapture in the sixty-four poems of this long-treasured collection.
"The Land of Counterpane," "My Bed is a Boat," "The Land of Nod" and over 60 other poems children and their parents have cherished for over a century. Humorous and whimsical, grave and fearful, courageous and determined, these poems voice the many moods and currents of a child’s imaginings.
Reprinted in large, easy-to-read type, with 6 new illustrations by Thea Kliros that capture the magical spirit of this beloved classic of children’s literature.
