Here is a delightful look at childhood, written by master poet and storyteller Robert Louis Stevenson. In this collectionA Child's Garden of Verses of 64 poems, Stevenson recalls the joys of his childhood, from sailing boats down a river, to waiting for the lamplighter, to sailing off to foreign lands in his imagination.

Nothing has ever been written that appeals to a child's nature more than "A Child's Garden of Verses." It is written in a simple verse that a child can readily understand.
