Synopsis
Here is a classic, illustrated edition of one of the best loved poetry collections in the world. Lavishly illustrated with more than 100 pictures by the most distinguished children's book artists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this edition of A Child's Garden of Verses contains all the poems that appeared in the original book, published over 100 years ago.
This is a volume to be cherished for a lifetime: by parents and by grandparents who grew up with the poems and, most of all, by children who are being introduced to this extraordinary collection for the first time.

Reviews
Kindergarten-Grade 3-- There are currently 14 editions of Stevenson's perennial classic in print, as well as single editions of The Moon (Harper, 1984) and Block City (Dutton, 1988) . Now here is another. The illustrations for this volume have been selected from the work of 20 illustrators published between 1896 (Charles Robinson) and 1940 (Ruth Mary Hallock). For those interested in the history of children's book illustration, the work of E. Mars (1900) may be of interest, as well as that of H. Willebeek Le Mair, with its sophisticated use of color. The strongest work is that of Jessie Willcox Smith, but Smith admirers may have the edition of the verses that she has illustrated entirely (Scribners, 1905). With the exception of the illustrators mentioned and Willy Pogany's charming end papers, the art work is second rate, although possibly of sentimental interest to adults. For children, the editions illustrated by Blegvad, Foreman, Smith, Tudor, and Wildsmith are better choices. --Ann Stell, The Smithtown Library, NY
