Description
"Once upon a time, a very long time ago now, about last Friday, Winnie-the-Pooh lived in a forest all by himself under the name of Sanders."
Curl up with a true children's classic by reading A.A.Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh with iconic decorations by E.H.Shepard.
Winnie-the-Pooh may be a bear of very little brain, but thanks to his friends Piglet, Eeyore and, of course, Christopher Robin, he's never far from an adventure.
In this much-loved classic story collection Pooh gets into a tight place, nearly catches a Woozle and heads off on an 'expotition' to the North Pole with the other animals.
This stunning edition of A.A.Milne's world-famous story is once again brought to life by E.H.Shepard's beautiful decorations which are shown in full, glorious colour. They are truly iconic and contributed to him being known as 'the man who drew Pooh'. Milne's masterpiece conveys a child's imagination like no other story before or since.

Persons
A.A.Milne was born in London in 1882 and became a highly successful writer of plays, poems and novels. He based Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet and friends on the real nursery toys of his son Christopher Robin and published the first book of their adventures together in 1926. Since then, Pooh has become a world-famous bear, and Milne's stories have been translated into seventy-two languages.
E.H.Shepard was born in London in 1879. He was an artist, illustrator and cartoonist and went on to draw the original decorations to accompany Milne's classic stories, earning him the name 'the man who drew Pooh'.
