A Child's Garden of Delights: Pictures, Poems, and Stories for Children is an anthology of children's stories and more from the collections of the New York Public Library.
rel="nofollow" target="_top">
"The Charm of the anonymous early English and American selections proves that in the field of children's literature there was a genius shared by all its practitioners, from the humblest to the most illustrious. To browse through this collection will be a voyage of discovery for young readers and a happy voyage of rediscovery of beloved favorites for older ones."
This treasure trove has over 80 stories, poems, fables, and nursery rhymes with original illustrations. The illustrations are a mix of color and black and white. It's an enchanting book. I love that it begins with selections for the youngest readers and progresses on to more difficult readings for older children.
There are tons of authors and great artists including: Rudyard Kipling, Alexander Calder, Charles Kingsley, Leo Tolstoy, Oscar Wilde, Mark Twain, Nathanial Hawthorne, Clement Clark Moore, Louisa May Alcott, William Blake, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, Pushkin, and many more.
Stories include some of our favorites like: Pinocchio, Old Mother Hubbard, Humpty Dumpty, The Elephants Child, The Ugly Little Duck, Millions of Cats, Aesop's Fables, A Visit from St. Nicholas, The Wolf and the Dog, The Lion and the Puppy, The Selfish Giant, The Woodcutters Dog, and so many more.
I know well that only the rarest kind of best can be good enough for the young. - Walter De La Mare
This is a book I'll never part with. It's such a gem. I feel so lucky to have it!
