Talk:A Child's Garden of Verses

I found info on Everything2.com. It says "Six poems had been previously printed in The Magazine of Art, (Mar-Sep 1884)." and that "His childhood at Heriot Row inspired the poetry."

It mentions "summers he spent at his grandfather's country estate in Scotland as a child".

I would add this info to the main article except that

 * 1) I don't have copyrights etc figured out yet and
 * 2) I don't like stating as fact anything for which I have only one information source of unknown quality

The book aparently was made into a movie directed by Michael Sporn in 1992. A Thomas Meham is given writing credit along with RLS. Found this on IMBd. 69.231.83.223 01:14, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Why don't you write all the poems in the book into this article?

I entered a relevant pop culture reference but it was removed. As the article is a stub anyways, and I sourced the reference, I don't see why it should not be included. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aelius Maxiums (talk • contribs) 22:42, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Penny Whistles ?
I've removed from the lead the statement that the collection was first published in 1885 under the title Penny Whistles. I can't find any reputable source that states that, and it doesn't seem at all likely given the existence of this 1885 first edition published in London under the usual name by Longmans, Green.

Britannica confirms that Penny Whistles was never the published title. MichaelMaggs (talk) 12:13, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Adaptations
There is a half-hour animated version (I think? At least, it’s called by the same name- I do not know for certain that the same poems are used), part of a series, presently running on HBO Max, with some of the poems set to music by Charles Strouse. See IMDb. ELSchissel (talk) 12:56, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
