About this book

Best remembered as a novelist, Robert Louis Stevenson was also a poet whose verse ranges from tender childhood recollection to restless meditations on travel and mortality. His most beloved poems come from A Child's Garden of Verses, which catches a young imagination at play, while later collections such as Underwoods and Songs of Travel turn toward landscape, exile, and the pull of the open road. This gathering of his poetry shows the plain, musical style and the wanderer's spirit that run through all his work. Direct and often quietly melancholy, the poems reward readers who know him only through his adventure stories.
