A Child's Garden of Verses: Abridged Edition for Boys and Girls - Hardcover

by Robert Louis Stevenson (Author), E. Mars (Author)

"The rain is falling all around,

It falls on field and tree,

It rains on the umbrellas here,

And on the ships at sea."

-Robert Louis Stevenson, A Child's Garden of Verses

This jacketed hardcover edition of A Child's Garden of Verses-Abridged for Boys and Girls (1902) by Robert Louis Stevenson contains the first 42 of the 65 poems in the original edition of Robert Louis Stevenson's much-loved classic. With numerous illustrations (some in color) by E. Mars and M. H. Squire, its shorter length has made it at the time a popular choice for classroom use.
