The Complete Tales and Poems of
Winnie-the-Pooh
Book
Description
Seventy-five years ago, that most beloved of "silly
old bears," Winnie-the-Pooh, came down the stairs,
"bump, bump, bump," on the back of his head, behind
Christopher Robin. And now, after generations of
children have grown up on stories about Pooh's
adventures with his forest friends, the four
all-time children's classics from A.A. Milne and
Ernest H. Shepard have been collected in one hefty,
handsome volume for another multitude of generations
to enjoy. Gathered together are the poems and tales
that celebrate heffalumps, Eeyore's birthday, the
unbouncing of Tigger, Disobedience, Buckingham
Palace, and sneezles. The stories about Pooh getting
stuck in Rabbit's doorway, Piglet doing a "Very
Grand Thing," and Eeyore losing a tail (and Pooh
finding one) are timeless favorites for
children--and grownups--of all ages. Four original
classics are here, in all their glory: Winnie-the-Pooh,
The House at Pooh Corner, When We Were Very Young,
and Now We Are Six. This beautiful edition features
complete, unabridged text and all of Shepard's
original illustrations, each hand painted in
watercolors--this is a true collector's gem. (All
ages) --Emilie Coulter
