A Child's Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson

"A Child's Garden of Verses" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a collection of 64 poems published in 1885. Written from a child's perspective, these verses capture the imagination and experiences of childhood through the eyes of young observers. The Scottish author dedicated this influential work to his childhood nurse, Alison Cunningham. These widely imitated poems have become one of the most significant children's literature collections of the 19th century, inspiring countless adaptations including musical arrangements and translations into Latin.
