Book Synopsis

NEW stunning hardback edition showcasing the original E.H.Shepard art with Milne's classic, timeless stories.

'You're the Best Bear in All the World, ' said Christopher Robin. 'Am I?' said Pooh hopefully.

E.H.Shepard's original, iconic artwork has been reproduced for this 100th anniversary range so it truly pays homage to the vividness of the original art that accompanied Milne's classic, favourite stories.

Meet the world's favourite bear in this delightful collection, in which Pooh gets into a tight place, nearly catches a Woozle, and discovers the wrong sort of honey - amongst other things!

A.A.Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh is nothing less than a true children's classic. 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.

This very special 100th anniversary hardback collection of the classic stories will delight fans of Winnie-the-Pooh young and old. Relive all your favourite moments in the Hundred Acre Wood, brought stunningly to life with the iconic decorations by E.H.Shepard.

Milne and Shepard had a unique working relationship for their time, in that they closely collaborated on the design and layout of the storybooks and poetry. This joint approach to the words and illustrations was a complete partnership; Shepard perfectly captured the charm of Pooh's world, creating something quite special.

The nation's favourite teddy bear has been delighting generations of children for nearly 100 years. Milne's classic children's stories - featuring Piglet, Eeyore, Christopher Robin and, of course, Pooh himself - are gently humorous while teaching lessons about friendship and kindness.

Pooh ranks alongside other beloved character such as Paddington Bear, and Peter Rabbit as an essential part of our literary heritage. Whether you're 5 or 55, Pooh is the bear for all ages.

About the Author

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'.
