Synopsis

So you may see, if you will look
Through the windows of this book,
Another child, far, far away,

And in another garden play.
First published in 1885, A Child's Garden of Verses is one of the best-loved classic poetry books for children ever written. The world-famous illustrator Michael Foreman complements these classic and beloved verses with illustrations as luminous and clear as Stevenson's own word pictures.
First published to mark the collection's centenary year of 1985, the book is now reissued in a finely-produced gift edition in hardback with imitation cloth binding, head and tail bands.

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

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.

From the Back Cover:

'The world is so full of a number of things, I'm sure we should all be happy as kings.'This classic collection of poems, beautifully illustrated by Brian Wildsmith, recreates the happy and magical world of childhood.
