A child's garden of verses
In spite of the great popularity of his adventure novels, A Child's Garden of Verses is still one of Stevenson's most beloved works. In these short and simple poems, he has perfectly recaptured the feelings and fantasies of a small child--a thing that is not easy for a grownup to do. The natives of Samoa, where Stevenson lived out the last years of his life, gave him the title of Tusitala," the "teller of tales," but this book reveals that Stevenson also deserved great honor as the writer of poetry for children."
