A note from the composer:

“This trilogy of piano solos is inspired by more of my favorite poems from A Child’s Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson.  The pieces in this collection reinforce specific musical and technical elements at the intermediate to late intermediate levels of piano study.  I encourage students to first recite the poems and to imagine how they would communicate the story through the sound colors of the piano.  Metronome markings serve only as guidelines – please feel free to choose tempos that reflect how you want the poems to sound.”
