A Child's Garden of Verses

Cover of A Child's Garden of Verses

By Robert Louis Stevenson

Language: English

Step into a garden where beds become boats, quilts become kingdoms, shadows stretch into playmates, and every ordinary day opens into adventure. A Child’s Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson, first published in 1885, is one of the most beloved collections of poetry for young readers.

This complete edition presents all sixty-four poems in a spacious, child-friendly layout, with a newly created illustration for every poem. The pages are designed to be read aloud together and to support early independent readers, with room to linger over each verse and picture.

The poems celebrate imagination, nature, family, and the everyday wonder of childhood — playing in bed on a rainy day, watching the lamplighter pass, sailing a make-believe ship. Recommended for ages 5 to 9, and a natural choice for bedtime reading, classroom poetry time, and family read-aloud sessions.
