Here is a delightful look at childhood, written by master poet and storyteller Robert Louis Stevenson. In this collection of sixty-six poems, Stevenson recalls the joys of his childhood, from sailing boats down a river, to waiting for the lamplighter, to sailing off to foreign lands in his imagination. Tasha Tudor's watercolor paintings evoke a simpler time in the past, and celebrate two of the things she loves most -- children and nature. Her talents are the perfect match for these inspiring poems, making this a handsome gift edition that will be cherished by families for generations.

I have to say that I don't love the poems in this collection and not just because some are old fashioned and/or culturally insensitive, but mainly because they just don't really appeal me all that much. BUT having said that the illustrations by Tasha Tudor are to die for! They are really the main r...
