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)
