First published in 1885 and continuously in print since then, Stevenson’s poetry captures the joy and whimsy of childhood and is deservedly a classic.This book is a garden of delightful, imaginative poetry, complete with fairies, animals, and plenty of fun. Make believe that a bed is a ship and exchange pirate stories, swing from a favourite tree and feel like you can touch the highest leaves, or visit a caravan of kings. An excellent read-aloud to share with a child.
