A Child's Garden of Verses

ON THE OTHER END OF THE LINE

About the story.

A bed becomes a country, a garden stretches toward adventure, and the movement of a swing opens a different view of the world. Robert Louis Stevenson’s poems take everyday childhood experiences seriously without losing their sense of play.

These verses make room for solitude, make-believe, weather, and the excitement of being small in a large world. Listen for the rhythms as much as the pictures they invite you to imagine.
