Publisher Description:
A Child's Garden of Verses is one of the best-loved classic poetry books for children ever written. The world-famous illustrator Michael Foreman complements these classic and beloved verses with illustrations as luminous and clear as Stevenson's own word pictures.

This edition was first published to mark the collection's centenary year of 1985, and is now reissued in a finely-produced gift edition in hardcover with cloth binding and a ribbon marker. Includes a new foreword by best-selling author Alexander McCall Smith.
