All the joys and sorrows, fears and fantasies of an imaginative solitary child are brought together in this edition of a much-loved classic. Stevenson's timeless verses bear witness to a happy childhood, and coupled with Wildsmith's bright, imaginative images, the poems create a treasure
garden for every child to explore. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
作者简介 Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) spent his early years in poor health, confined to the nursery most of the time. He credited these years with helping him to bring an uncommon understanding of the real and imaginary worlds of childhood play to all of his later writing. His other books include Treasure Island and Kidnapped. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Tasha Tudor--illustrator of more than 70 books for children--is known for her charming drawings of children and animals; delicate, flower-filled borders; and delightful settings from days gone by. In this edition of Robert Louis Stevenson''s venerated volume of children''s poems, Tudor''s old-fashioned illustrations perfectly complement the poetry that has survived a century in print. Here is a comfortable world of sunny gardens and storybooks, where children play with toy soldiers and imaginary friends. You may remember some of these poems from your own childhood, such as "My Shadow," "The Swing," and "The Land of Counterpane." If time is any judge, this garden of delights will stay a perennial favorite. (Ages 4 to adult) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 4-Goode applies her characteristically charming illustrations to Stevenson''s poems with appealing results. She captures the exuberance of childhood in many pictures, such as those for "Rain" and "My Shadow." Other depictions are appropriately whimsical and dreamlike, as for "The Land of Nod," in which a sleepy child floats among animal-shaped clouds. The only drawback to the book is the stereotypical depiction of children playing Indian in the poem "The Gardener." While one can''t fault the author for his 19th-century perspective, it is the 20th-century illustrator''s decision on what parts of the poem to select and depict. The collection is well designed, with a generous amount of white space, varied one- and two-page spreads, and alternating black-and-white with full-color illustrations. The endpapers are reminiscent of the decorative floral wallpaper of a nursery. Children of both genders and mixed races are depicted in 19th-century clothing. Overall, an attractive interpretation of these classic verses.
