Product Description

First published in 1885, Stevenson's verses so truly reflect the feelings of young children - about being small, the bliss of going up in a swing so high, discovering one's shadow, happiness and sorrow and dreaming - that they have never ceased to be an essential part of a child's library. Robinson's beautiful pictures originally appeared in 1896 in the first illustrated edition.

Publisher's Description

Presented here in a beautiful, illustrated hardcover 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.

Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, and European-style half-round spines.

Editorial Reviews

"Robert Louis Stevenson…[is one of a] handful of geniuses…who almost single-handedly kept alive the art of comic narrative verse." Liz Rosenberg, The New York Times
