Book Synopsis

A delightful new collection of Winnie-the-Pooh stories, told in the style of A. A. Milne.

Seven brand-new tales take readers back to much loved settings in the Hundred Acre Wood, like Eeyore's Gloomy Place and the Poohsticks Bridge, as well as new spots, like the British Museum and the Tower of London.

Author Jane Riordan's writing is filled with the gentle humor, friendship and life lessons that echo the originals. She has a true gift for conveying the essence of Milne's characters and the Hundred Acre Wood, while showing her real affection for Winnie-the-Pooh. Mark Burgess once again takes inspiration from Shepard's original, iconic decorations with his gorgeous color illustrations.
