Amazon.com Review: Tasha Tudor--illustrator of more than 70 books for children--is known for her charming drawings of children and animals; delicate, flower-filled borders; and delightful settings from days gone by. In this edition of Robert Louis Stevenson's venerated volume of children's poems, Tudor's old-fashioned illustrations perfectly complement the poetry that has survived a century in print. Here is a comfortable world of sunny gardens and storybooks, where children play with toy soldiers and imaginary friends. You may remember some of these poems from your own childhood, such as 'My Shadow,' 'The Swing,' and 'The Land of Counterpane.' If time is any judge, this garden of delights will stay a perennial favorite. (Ages 4 to adult) Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Great poems RLS wrote more than adventure books. His poetry reveals much about his imaginative childhood. Great for all ages! Rating: - Past Revisited This book is so beautifully illustrated I couldn't resist it. I have always loved the poems written By Robert Louis Stevenson and to see these drawings alongside the poems made them even more enjoyable. I looked at other printings of this book and this one was far superior. If you like the old fashioned drawings, this is the book for you. Rating: - A wonderful romp I grew up in the 70's ... I had this book it was my mother's in the 50',s and her mother's in the 20's .... it hastens back to a wonderful time of imagination and literacy in children as well as their parents ... really lovely book .. A wonderful swing ride into a time past, and the land of nod Rating: - Who says you can't go back.... Just love the works of Robert Louis Stevenson. Loved them as a child and still do. And the illustrations are wonderful - reminds me of when I was a little girl, and we sometimes need that. Rating: - Beautiful edition of a classic A Child's Garden of Verses has always been one of my favorite books, and over the years I've given dozens of copies of it as First Birthday presents to the new children in my life. This is the most beautiful edition I have ever seen of these beloved poems. The illustrations are wonderful! They're taken from numerous editions over the years, and they cover a variety of styles and time periods. I couldn't be happier with this book, and I can't wait for the opportunity to give it to more children ...
