Editorial Review:
Robert Louis Stevenson's venerated volume of children's poems has prospered during more than 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 favourite.
Reader Reviews:
A very special book. (6/7 people found this helpful)
This book was bought for me by my father when i was about six years old. I used to learn poems from it and recite them to my mum.
This is a lovely book for any child and even now, at nineteen, i still look throught this as it reminds me of my childhood.
(The edition i have was illustrated by Brian Wildsmith- amazing colourful artwork-
Excellent introduction to poetry for children! (8/8 people found this helpful)
One of the great classics of children's verse, but this one deserves it's reputation 100% ! Great fun for children and an easy starting point for any parents who feel unsure about how to introduce poetry to thier children, It's the sort of book which may even pursuade "poetphobic" parents to reconsider their attitude.
