Narration Supposing Books A Child's Garden of Verses
Up into the cherry tree Who should climb but little me? I held the trunk with both my hands And looked abroad on foreign lands. Here is a delightful look at childhood, written by master poet and storyteller Robert Louis Stevenson. In this collection of sixty-six 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. Tasha Tudor's watercolour paintings evoke a simpler time in the past, and celebrate two of the things she loves most — children and nature. Her talents are the perfect match for these inspiring poems, making this a handsome gift edition that will be cherished by families for generations.Declare Books Conducive To A Child's Garden of Verses

A collection of 24 poems from A Child's Garden of Verses. This is a nice selection of some of the poems from a book I have known all my life. Although Eve Garnett's original artwork for this book cannot be beaten we really enjoyed Erik Blegvad's accompanying illustrations.Enhanting. Read a volume illustrated by Charles Robinson.
These were fun poems. I'd read these to my children
This rates 5 stars for the beautiful illustrations by Eve Garnet alone, the poems are lovely too, although some of the statements about children will sound dated to the modern ear, there are some lovely evocative words and pictures of idyllic childhoods and country scenes. I have a 1940s copy of this book that I spent many happy hours as a child reading or tracing the pictures so I could paint colour into the beautiful line drawings.
My edition different cover, with an assortment of classic illustrations chosen by Cooper Edens.My review from the Children's Books discussion for Poetry month:Emphasizes the sentimental and the nostalgic. That may be appropriate, and a good way to sell the book to the ppl with the money... but I'm not sure if it helps today's children appreciate the timelessness of the verses.I would have loved any edition of this when my children were tiny. Reading it now, I feel as if I deprived my kids!Even

It was all up to my imagination.Brian Wildsmith, artist, on his childhood.Image: Summer SunThis review is an excuse to share some of the startling and colourful illustrations that Wildsmith crafted for this 1966 edition (words here). A truly wild smith. I cant imagine what Robert Louis Stevenson would make of them, but I hope he would appreciate the edge they give to his words.Image: The CowThe poem leaves me cold, but the happy cow in her bucolic
