Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) was a novelist, poet, short-story writer, and essayist. In 1883, while bedridden with tuberculosis, he wrote what would become one of the best known and most beloved collections of children's poetry in the English language, A CHILD'S GARDEN OF VERSES. "Block City" is taken from that collection. Stevenson is also the author of such classics as TREASURE ISLAND, KIDNAPPED, and THE STRANGE CASE OF DR. JECKYLL AND MR. HYDE.
