A Child's Garden of Verses, Centenary Edition, hardcover book by Robert Louis Stevenson, Illustrated by Annie Owen.

This lovely classic book is timeless. A favourite children's classic and also appreciated by adults.

By Robert Louis Stevenson, born 1850, died 1894, at the age of 44; celebrated author of Treasure Island, Kidnapped and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I have always been struck by the beauty of this book, with verses and ideas conceived during his childhood, in which he was so often ill and spent much time in bed.

Inside leaf reads in part:
"Parents and children 'looking through the windows of this book' will find tales of meadows and haylofts, of foreign lands and windy nights, of summer gardens and firelit hearths. Entranced by the timeless verses and imaginative new pictures, they will journey happily, together or alone, through the children's garden to the land of Nod."


60 pages, Aurum Press Ltd., London, 1st Printing, 1985

In very good vintage condition. No writing. No tears. Dust cover is present but a little banged up here and there.

Disclaimer: Many of the items sold are vintage or pre-loved. Quality of vintage items vary with the manufacturing methods available at the time of production. They are not made to current standards of manufacturing ... and in my opinion, that is usually a good thing! They tend to be higher quality, last longer and include more attention to detail than today's products. However, safety standards do change over time, items do deteriorate with age, and it is up to the customer to decide how they will use each product.
