First published in 1885, A Child’s Garden of Verses has been introducing new generations to the wonders of poetry. Robert Louis Stevenson's cherished poems capture the complexity and delight of childhood, from the sunny joys of “At the Seaside,” to the imaginative thoughts in “Foreign Lands” to the playful and beloved “My Shadow.” Among the many available editions, Gyo Fujikawa’s is one of the most charming and intimate. Illustrated in 1957, this was her debut book and she transports readers to a simpler, more naive time that will surely resonate with modern audiences. It's a lovely gift that will be treasured by every child.
