About this edition

The best-loved book of poems for children ever written. Robert Louis Stevenson remembers childhood from the inside—the Land of Counterpane where a sick boy marches toy soldiers over the bedclothes, the swing that flies up so high, the lamplighter going by at dusk, the little shadow that will not stay still. More than sixty short poems of bed and morning, sea and garden, wind and wonder.

Robert Louis Stevenson’s A Child’s Garden of Verses (1885)—“My Shadow,” “The Swing,” “Bed in Summer,” “The Land of Nod,” “The Lamplighter”—has been read aloud to children for well over a century. This Lightbound Library edition presents the complete collection behind an original painting by Jessica von Braun, published by Solocosmo Press.
