Inspired by a children's book of 1880, the collection was originally to be called Penny Whistles^[2] but was ultimately published by Longmans, Green, &Co in 1885 as A Child's Garden of Verses.^[1]

• In 1922, the classical scholar Terrot Reaveley Glover published a translation of the poems into Latin under the title Carmina non prius audita de ludis et hortis virginibus puerisque.^[3]
• Disneyland Records released an LP record of the poems set to music. This was the first title for the newly created Disney record label. Gwyn Conger wrote the music, which was performed by Francis Archer and Beverly Gile.^[4]
• The Italian composer Carlo Deri composed, in 2005, a song for voice and piano, The Unseen Playmate, on Stevenson's poem. This song is also included in Deri's one-act opera Markheim (2008).^[5]
• The Lithuanian composer Giedrius Alkauskas (born 1978) arranged five poems—"The Wind" (two alternative arrangements), "Rain", "Singing", "Marching Song", and "At the Sea-side"—as a six-song cycle, A Child's Garden of Songs, for mezzo-soprano, piano, and trumpet in B♭, which was released in 2014.^[6][7]
