As a young Scotsman, the famous author Robert Louis Stevenson suffered a childhood of illness and frailty. As a result, Stevenson developed a rich inner life as well as an author's keen sense of observation. Much of A Child's Garden of Verses comes from this period of relative infirmity. And on A Child's Garden of Songs we most agreeably find these same charmingly insightful words set to music, sung and played by a cast of singers and musicians in fashions that range from whimsical ("Auntie's Skirts") to magical ("From a Railway Carriage") to wistful ("To Any Reader"). Written expressly for children, these poems breathe life into new worlds born of a love for language. Coupled with fine arrangements on Celtic pipes and strings, this is a fertile garden of enrichment for the whole family. --Paige La Grone

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Joyous Surprise
When I was a young girl, my great-grandmother would read Robert Louis Stevenson poetry to me. It is (and always will be) a cherished memory.
Now, all these years later, to have discovered a music CD which puts those wonderful poems to music, has been a joyful surprise. The melodies are cheerful, sometimes quiet and reflective, and always entertaining.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fabulous!
I bought this for my kids but ended up listening to it over and over. Ted Jacob's is an amazing musician who surrounds himself with equally talented people. Great melodies beautifully arranged. This is a unique, totally original collection.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Superb
We found this tucked in a basket at the library and haven't taken it out of the cd player since.

Peaceful. Lovely. Sweet. Charming.

HIGHLY recommended.




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great for adults, too!
These songs are so exquisitely crafted that any music lover would like this album.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Delightful CD for Whole Family
My year old triplets received this CD as a birthday gift. I didn't play it right away because I thought it was another classical music cd of which we have several...I was so pleasantly surprised by this CD. My babies just love it, dancing and clapping to the songs. We play it all the time and are not tired of it yet. In fact I am here today buying a copy as a baby gift.
