A Childs Garden of Verses is a book written by Robert Louis Stevenson it is here accompanied by the splendid illustrations of Jessie Willcox Smith. Stevenson (1850 1894), was a Scottish novelist, poet, essayist and travel writer, most famous for penning Treasure Island, and the Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. His A Childs Garden of Verses is a collection of poetry, which first appeared in 1885, under the title of Penny Whistles. It contains about 65 poems including the cherished classics Foreign Children, The Lamplighter, The Land of Counterpane, Bed in Summer, My Shadow and The Swing.Jessie Willcox Smith (1863 1935) was one of the most prominent female illustrators in the United States during the Golden Age of American Illustration. She was also a prolific contributor to literary novels and magazines during the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Most notable was her ongoing relationship with Good Housekeeping, including the longrunning Mother Goose series. Smiths style changed drastically through her life. In the beginning of her career she used dark lined borders to delineate brightly coloured objects, and in later works she masterfully softened lines and colours until they almost disappeared. Presented alongside the text, her illustrations bring further joy to Robert Louis Stevensons poetry.Pook Press celebrates the great Golden Age of Illustration in childrens literature a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration. We publish rare and vintage Golden Age illustrated books, in highquality colour editions, so that the masterful artwork and storytelling can continue to delight both young and old.
