A delightful look at childhood, written by master poet and storyteller Robert Louis Stevenson, A Child's Garden of Verses is a collection of over sixty poems that recalls the joys of his boyhood, from sailing boats down a river, to waiting for the lamplighter, to sailing off to foreign lands in his imagination . . .
Considered one of the greatest children's illustrators, British painter and illustrator Brian Wildsmith was celebrated for his vibrant use of colour, painterly style, and the textural richness employed that redefined picture books, and in A Child's Garden of Verses Wildsmith's wonderful and whimsical artwork creates a stunning backdrop to this beloved collection of classic poems.
