Robert Louis Stevenson's venerated volume of children's poems has prospered during more than 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 favourite. "
