A review by hyzie
A Child's Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson

 

This was something that was a favorite of mine as a child, so it was a nice nostalgic trip re-reading it as an adult.

 

I'm not generally a fan of poetry, but I enjoyed this quite a bit. The rhymes are pretty and I probably shouldn't really try to talk about poetry, because I have nothing to say on that front other than that.

 

My favorite poem is "The Swing," which my grandmother used to recite to me when she pushed me on the aforementioned object as a child, so it will always hold particularly fond memories for me.

 

In the end, this was a short but sweet trip down memory lane for me, and something I feel all children ought to be exposed to at some point.
