Robert Louis Stevenson / edited by Frances Schoonmaker ; illustrated by Lucy Corvino.
An illustrated collection of thirty-two popular poems by Robert Louis Stevenson, mostly from "A Child's Garden of Verses." Includes an introduction about the poet's life and work. These poems gives an insightful glimpse into his life and how it influenced his poems. The illustrations convey the poetic notion of a romantic childhood memory, with pink-cheeked children. Muted colors, rich with warm golden accents among the dominant green tone, are a peaceful accompaniment to the poems.
