How do you like to go up in a swing,

Up in the air so blue?

Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing

Ever a child can do!

ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON (1850-1894) was a Scottish novelist, poet, essayist, and travel writer. A literary celebrity in his lifetime, he is best known for his works Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. ALICE AND MARTIN PROVENSEN began to illustrate children's books together in 1946, many of them for Golden Books- The Fuzzy Ducking; The Golden Book of Fun and Nonsense; The Golden Treasury of Myths and Legends; The Iliad and the Odyssey; and The Color Kittens, one of the most beloved Golden Books ever. The Provensens won the Caldecott Medal in 1984 for The Glorious Flight, which they also wrote. Martin Provensen passed away in 1987.
