{"product_id":"2940150907829","title":"A Child's Garden of Verses","description":"Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) published A Child's Garden of Verses in 1885. Along with Treasure Island and The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde it is among his best known works, and is a timeless classic of English language poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI was first introduced to his timeless A Child's Garden of Verses by my mother as a child myself, and the simple, extremely perceptive moments beautifully rendered in Stevenson's effortless cadences and perfect rhymes went a long way, I imagine, to making me believe from an early age that poetry was the best way to explain and discover everything, and subsequently made me want to be a poet myself, or at least surround myself with poetry as much as possible. Reading these poems to my own children is one of my fondest memories of young fatherhood. I can think of no other single volume of verse that is more essential for a child's puerile ears and curious mind.","brand":"William Ralph Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47068653289712,"sku":"2940150907829","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940150907829_p0.jpg?v=1763755586","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940150907829","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
