Etext produced by David Starner, Maria Cecilia Lim and PG Distributed Proofreaders HTML file produced by David Widger "A Child-World" by James Whitcomb Riley is a nostalgic collection of poems reflecting on childhood experiences and memories, likely written in the late 19th century. The work encapsulates the joys, simplicity, and enchantment of a child's perspective, exploring themes of nature, family, and the innocence of youth through the eyes of children living in a small Indiana town. The opening of "A Child-World" paints a vivid picture of the idyllic landscape and childhood adventures of a group of children, primarily focusing on Johnty, Bud, Maymie, Alex, and baby Lizzie. The initial verses evoke memories of a simple home, apple trees, and playful interactions among the kids, capturing their unique personalities and friendships. As the narrative unfolds, it delves into various interactions, like visits from relatives and well-cherished moments that showcase their imaginations and experiences. The tone is rich with warmth, humor, and a sense of longing for the carefree days of youth, setting the stage for more tales and vignettes of their cherished "Child-World."
