This collection includes works from Walt Whitman, Robert Louis Stevenson, Lewis Carroll, and many others. Each is accompanied by a warmly old-fashioned illustration (e.g., Jessie Willcox Smith's painting for Stevenson's "Picture-Books in Winter" shows a girl in a window seat wearing Mary Janes and an heirloom dress). There's no index, and the poems aren't organized thematically.
