Poetry for Young People: Robert Louis Stevenson

Poetry for Young People: Robert Louis Stevenson edited by Frances Schoonmaker, illustrated by Lucy Corvino

"Where the knotty crocodile lies and blinks in the Nile, and the red flamingo flies hunting fish before his eyes..."? Then come along and think a "Happy Thought", follow "The Sun's Travels," watch the "Autumn Fires," and sing "A Song of the Road." These are just a few of Robert Louis Stevenson's wonderful poems that have captivated young and old for a century.
