A Child`s Garden of Verses

The 64 poems in `A Child`s Garden of Verses` are a masterly evocation of childhood from the pen of the author of `Treasure Island` and `Kidnapped`. They are full of delightful irony, wit and the fantasy worlds of childhood imagination, and introduce for the first time The Land of Nod. But they are also touched with a genuine and gentle pathos at times as they recall a world which seems so far away form us now. This edition, which includes Charles Robinson`s charming illustrations and vignettes, is described as the definitive edition by `The Oxford Companion to Children`s Literature`.
