Originally published in 1885, A Child&;s Garden of Verses has served as a wonderful introduction to poetry for each new generation. Stevenson&;s beloved poems celebrate childhood in all its complexity and joy, from the sunny pleasures of &;At the Seaside,&; to the imaginative musings of &;Foreign Lands&; to the playful, ever-popular &;My Shadow.&; Of the many available editions, Gyo Fujikawa&;s is one of the sweetest and most personal. Illustrated in 1957, it was her very first book&;and she evokes a simpler, more innocent time that should profoundly appeal to today&;s audiences. It is a gift that every child will treasure.
