A charming album capturing the world of a child's imagination through the poems of Robert Louis Stevenson's A Child's Garden of Verses'. The verse at the head of each piece is suggested to encourage interpretation on the part of the player. Each poem has many scenarios and the pieces contain changes of mood, tempo and dynamics at an equally demanding rate. The music is very tuneful and rewarding for those who strive to make it come alive.

Leslie Fly was one of several house composers working for Forsyth Brothers Limited in the early 1920s, at a time when our music publishing department was based in London. Fly was music master at Caterham School and his imaginative compositions, marked by literary themes such as fairy tales, Arthurian legends and the tales of Robin Hood, were often composed specifically for teaching purposes.

His works are still regularly to be found on the exam syllabi. Other popular editions still in print include Birds and Beasts, Canterbury Tales, Partnership Pieces, Robin Hood and the newly re-engraved
classic Snow White.
