Robert Louis Stevenson captures the spirit of childhood in this book of children's verse. Celebrating his own memories of being a child, these lyrical, funny poems describe the world around him, from the sights and sounds of garden and nursery to gentle philosophical thoughts and imaginary jouneys to exotic lands.
