The Golden Staircase: Poems And Verses For Children is a collection of poems and verses compiled by Louey Chisholm and originally published in 1906. The book contains a selection of classic and lesser-known poems, ranging from traditional nursery rhymes and lullabies to longer narrative pieces and moral tales. The poems are organised thematically, with sections on nature, animals, fairy tales, and more. The book’s title is inspired by a poem by William Butler Yeats, and the collection is intended to provide a “”golden staircase”” of literature for children to climb, introducing them to the joys of poetry and storytelling. The language is accessible and playful, with many of the poems featuring catchy rhymes and rhythms. The book has been a beloved classic for over a century, inspiring generations of young readers to explore the world of poetry.
