Robert Louis Stevenson: Poetry for Young People

“A collection of 32 poems…A short introductory biography…gives an insightful glimpse into his life and how it influenced his poems….illustrations convey the poetic notion of a romantic childhood memory, with pink-cheeked children…Muted colors, rich with warm golden accents among the dominant green tone, are a peaceful accompaniment to the poems.”–School Library Journal. “These poems…are colorfully illustrated and notable for their detailed brushstrokes of gentle colors. They interpret the verse in a style that is fanciful without looking too juvenile for a middle-grade audience. Younger children will find the poems and illustrations to their liking as well.”–Booklist.
