DOWNLOAD EBOOK"The rain is falling all around, It falls on field and tree, It rains on the umbrellas here, And on the ships at sea." -Robert Louis Stevenson, A Child's Garden of Verses A Child's Garden of Verses (1885) by Robert Louis Stevenson is unique among the many books for children that Robert Louis Stevenson has left us. In addition to the quality of Stevenson's poetry itself, the book is characterized by the sensitivity Stevenson showed in writing on themes that are especially important to children, such as the imaginative life of the child; the loneliness of being young, and the beauty of nature. If reading to their children or just for their own pleasure, adults may also be pleased the author has not forgotten their concerns, thoughtfully including moral reminders to children! This beautiful version includes all 65 poems published in the original 1905 edition and remarkable color illustrations by Jessie Willcox Smith.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA beautiful art book and a richly illustrated biography, The Red Rose Girls is the story of three remarkable women artists--Jessie Willcox Smith, Elizabeth Shippen Green, and Violet Oakley--who captivated early-twentieth-century society with their brilliant careers and bohemian lifestyle. Nicknamed by their mentor, the famous illustrator Howard Pyle, The Red Rose Girls lived and worked at a picturesque former inn of the same name in an idyllic suburb on Philadelphia's Main Line. In the course of their years together they formed intimate bonds of friendship and love and enriched each other's professional lives by sharing ideas and inspiration. Smith and Green were prolific illustrators, celebrated for their work in children's books and periodicals such as Scribner's, Collier's, Harper's; and Oakley was a painter and muralist of national reputation whose work graces the interior of the Pennsylvania State Capitol in Harrisburg. Full-color illustrations and wonderful period photographs bring their work and milieu to life.
