Published in London by Chatto \u0026amp; Windus in association with Longmans, Green \u0026amp; Co., the volume offers an unusually broad survey of Stevenson's poetry, ranging from reflective and deeply personal compositions to narrative ballads, poems of travel and childhood verse.\n     \u003cdiv\u003e\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n     \u003c\/div\u003e\n     \u003cdiv\u003e\n      Underwoods reveals the more intimate and contemplative side of Stevenson's writing, addressing friendship, mortality, illness, courage and the passage of time. Ballads draws upon legend, history and the storytelling traditions of Scotland and the South Seas, while Songs of Travel reflects the author's restless life abroad and his recurring meditations upon exile, memory, home and the traveller's desire for freedom.\n     \u003c\/div\u003e\n     \u003cdiv\u003e\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n     \u003c\/div\u003e\n     \u003cdiv\u003e\n      The volume concludes with A Child's Garden of Verses, Stevenson's celebrated evocation of childhood imagination. Its poems transform bedrooms, gardens, toys, shadows and changing seasons into realms of adventure, capturing with remarkable tenderness the private world of childhood. First published in 1885, the collection has remained among the best-loved works of nineteenth-century children's literature and includes such familiar pieces as \"The Land of Counterpane,\" \"My Shadow\" and \"The Swing.\"\n     \u003c\/div\u003e\n     \u003cdiv\u003e\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n     \u003c\/div\u003e\n     This finely produced edition was printed at the Florence Press during August 1913, its clear typography, generous margins and quality paper reflecting the private-press ideals of the period. The present copy is especially distinguished by its luxurious red leather binding, raised five-band spine, leather turn-ins, ribbon marker and all edges gilt. Combining four important Stevenson collections with elegant presswork and premium craftsmanship, it is a particularly attractive volume for the collector of fine bindings, illustrated-press-era books or classic English literature.\"\n    \u003c\/font\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003e\n     \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003c\/font\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003e\n     Light wear to covers and spine.
