A Child's Garden of Verses (Everyman's Library Children's Classic) by Robert Louis Stevenson discernment call and responseFirst published in 1885, Stevenson's verses so truly reflect the feelings of young children about being small, the bliss of going up in a swing so high, discovering one's shadow, happiness and sorrow and dreaming that they have never ceased to be an essential part of a child's library. Robinson's beautiful pictures originally appeared in 1896 in the first illustrated edition. Throughout his life, Robert Louis Stevenson was tormented by poor health.
