A Child’s Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson is a collection of 64 poems published in 1885. Presented through a child’s perspective, the verses convey the wonder and imagination of childhood, as seen by young speakers. The collection was dedicated by Stevenson to his childhood nurse, Alison Cunningham. Through its poems, the book offers an influential view of how children experience the world, and it has been widely reprinted in illustrated editions. Its impact has also been reflected in the many works that imitate its approach, helping it become one of the notable children’s literary titles of the 19th century.
