Item description

In this listing, we're offering a 1930's addition of acclaimed author Robert Louis Stevenson's A Child's Garden of Verses. Publisher - Standard Book Company, New York. First published in 1885, the first printing of A Child's Garden of Verses ran 1000 copies by Longhaus, Green and Co in London. This book was not illustrated until the 1896 edition, published 2 years after Stevenson's death. The collection contains about 65 poems, and many of the poems, including “The Land of Counterpane,” take a positive perspective on Stevenson's own childhood which was plagued by sickness. He dedicated the work to his nurse Alison Cunningham. Stevenson was a Scottish novelist, poet, essayist, musician and travel writer. (13 November 1850 – 3 December 1894) Although he died at just forty four years old and suffered from ill health the majority of his life he managed to travel and write extensively in that short period. His most famous works are Treasure Island, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Kidnapped, and A Child's Garden of Verses. Although Stevenson fell out of the canon for a number of years, today he is one of the most translated authors and is highly celebrated for his stories. Condition - We can not emphasize enough the immaculate condition of this book. The binding is tight. There are no ripped pages. There are a couple of very small dents on the edges that are barely noticeable. Overall, we find it amazing that this book exists in such great shape at 91 years old. If you are a collector of fine literature, it rarely gets as good as Robert Louis Stevenson.
