{"product_id":"a-childs-garden-of-verses-dover-childrens-thrift-classics-1","title":"A Child's Garden of Verses (Dover Children's Thrift Classics)","description":"Scottish novelist, poet and essayist Robert Louis Stevenson dedicated A Child's Garden ofVerses to Alison Cunningham, the nurse of his early childhood years in Edinburgh—a time whose essence he strove to recapture in the sixty-four poems of this long-treasured collection. Here, in \"The Land of Counterpane\" and \"The Land of Nod,\" and in such delightful lyrics as \"My Bed Is a Boat,\" \"Autumn Fires\" and \"Windy Nights,\" are rhymes and images children and their parents have cherished together since A Child's Garden of Verses was first published in 1885.\nAlternately humorous and whimsical, grave and fearful, courageous and determined, the poems touchingly voice the many moods and currents of a child's imaginings. All sixty-four poems are reprinted in this edition in large, easy-to-read type. New illustrations by Thea Kliros capture the magical spirit of this beloved classic of children's literature.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0486273016\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0486273016.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Robert Louis Stevenson\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
