Summary
Summary
When I am grown to man’s estate. I shall be very proud and great. And tell the other girls and boys. Not to meddle with my toys. Thus reads the whimsical, “Looking Forward,” of this delightful collection. From the sweetness of “Land of Nod,” to the imaginative dreams of “Pirate Story” and “Travels,” Robert Louis Stevenson’s beloved poems celebrate childhood in all its simplicity and joy. Originally published in 1885, A Child’s Garden of Verses has served as a wonderful introduction to poetry for each new generation.Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“To write good verse for children—verse which is neither stilted nor bald, neither sentimental nor prosaic—is among the difficult achievements of literature, and Mr. Stevenson’s delightful little volume is quite a triumph in its kind…Full of grace and poetry.” —Guardian (London)
“One of the most beloved children’s books ever…Fanciful poems that create whimsical visual images.” —Examiner.com
