Robert Louis Stevenson's "Happy Thought" betokens all the joy and wonder of A Child's Garden of Verses. The poetic musings of this well-loved classic recapture childhood mysteries that range from the everyday rituals of home ("The Land of Nod," "Escape at Bedtime," and "My Bed Is a Boat") to the curiosities of a wider world ("Foreign Lands," "Pirate Story," and "Where Go the Boats?").

Do you believe in magic? Caroline, Charles and Charlotte do, and nothing that happens during their summer holiday at their great uncle's house does anything to diminish that belief. There the Three C.'s find a wonderful garden and some very old books, resulting in escapades which do not necessarily please the grown-ups. E. Nesbit, as usual, transports us back to the hazy summer days of a well-to-do Edwardian childhood, liberally spiced with magic, humour and lessons learned.

disappointed
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I was disappointed by this classic. While imaginative, and lots of good imagery, the overall message is mixed up.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Not had Toad get away with his crimes.
What about Curtis Sisco’s performance did you like?

A well loved classic
Lazy summer days before entering the adult world of responsibility. A picnic joined by friends and not over run by ants. The Wind in the Willows brought back some of the best of childhood without bringing all that angst and hassle laying under the surface for most of us.
Relax and enjoy Mole, Rat, and even Mr Toad as they explore life, the English countryside and stretch the boundaries of their world. This children's classic is for more than children. And running about 6 hours, it is one of the best bargains for your money you can find (just buy it and save your credits for a book that is expensive).

American accent and pronounciation
Please narrators, use correct pronunciation. Quay is not pronounced "Qway", correct way to say this word is "key". I prefer to hear UK accents particularly for British writers, it took a while to tune in to the American accent. Should have listened to a sample before purchasing. Lovely story and good characterisation by Curtis Sisco

A great story badly read.
The narrator is unable to pronounce English as written. He lacks the rhyme and emphasis the story deserves. It is very poor when compared with the earlier BBC version. Sadly I can't recommend it as it is not up to the expected standard.
