A Child's Garden of Verses

Travel to a marvelous old mill on a riverbank, a magnificent land where golden apples grow, and a snowy yard that's perfect for sleigh-riding.  Ride on a swing!  Imagine your bed is a boat!  Or build an incredible block city filled with castles and palaces, temples and docks!
A wondrous world awaits you in this collection of sixty-one poems by Robert Louis Stevenson, from the make-believe journeys of "Picture Books in Winter" to the simple pleasures of "At the Seaside," the welcome companionship of "The Unseen Playmate" to the dreams of "Foreign Lands."
Gyo Fujikawa's beautiful illustrations captivate young and old alike, and will add to the fun of reading these timeless poems.  Her delightfully detailed paintings of children at play give Stevenson's magical imaginings new life and charm.
