Girl Reading at Window - Jessie Willcox Smith Art Print 02773 the Flying DutchmanIs there anything better than getting cozy with a book? This serene scene originally graced the pages of the 1905 edition of Robert Louis Stevenson's A Child's Garden of Verses, adorned with illustrations by Jessie Willcox Smith. It harmoniously complements its corresponding poem Picture Books in Winter, where Stevenson reflects on, "Sitting safe in nursery nooks, Reading picture story books."
