A Child's Garden of Verses
Illustrated by Smith, Jessie Willcox, Storer, Florence Edith, Tudor, Tasha
Originally published in 1885 under the title Penny Whistles, A Child’s Garden of Verses has served as a wonderful introduction to poetry for each new generation. Stevenson’s beloved poems celebrate childhood in all its complexity and joy, from the sunny pleasures of “At the Seaside,” to the imaginative musings of “Foreign Lands” to the playful, ever-popular “My Shadow.”
