Description: This 1940 edition of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic, A Child’s Garden of Verses, is wonderfully illustrated by Fern Bisel Peat. I think every page has an illustration that breaks the cuteness meter. A lovely book with very clean pages with no writing aside from the previous owner’s bookplate in front. Display in a nursery or wrap it up to give as a baby shower gift.
