About A Child's Garden Of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson

A Child's Garden of Verses is a collection of poetry for children by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson. The collection first appeared in 1885 under the title Penny Whistles, but has been reprinted many times, often in illustrated versions. It contains about 65 poems including the cherished classics "Foreign Children," "The Lamplighter," "The Land of Counterpane," "Bed in Summer," "My Shadow" and "The Swing." The classical scholar Terrot Reaveley Glover published a translation of the poems into Latin in 1922 under the title Carmina non prius audita de ludis et hortis virginibus puerisque.

About this title

About the Author:

Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894), in addition to giving us the beloved "A Child's Garden of Verses," is also the author of such timeless works as "Treasure Island," "Kidnapped" and "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. "

Charles Robinson (1870-1937) was born into a family of artists, and he and his brothers T. Heath and W. Heath carried on this fine tradition. During his long and distinguished career Charles Robinson illustrated over 100 books, mostly for children, and was equally adept at line drawing and watercolors. His black and white illustrations are no less exciting or vibrant than their color counterparts - such is Robinson's genius. He was among the first to recognize the importance of book design and champion the book as a work of art in and of itself. Though clearly influenced by the Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts movements of his day, Charles Robinson was a true original and titan of children's illustration.
