Winnie the Pooh Collection

It was over seventy years ago, in 1926, that A.A. Milne's first stories about Winnie-the-Pooh were published. The book was an instant success, and since then the Bear of Little Brain has become the most famous bear in the world. A.A. Milne's stories about Pooh and his friends have been translated into no less than thirty-one different languages, and he has an enormous following of fans, young and old, across the world.

This handsome book contains the complete stories from Winnie-the-Pooh 1926, and The House at Pooh Corner 1928, including memorable tales such as Pooh getting stuck in Rabbit's front door for a week, Piglet's meeting with a fierce Heffalump, Tigger's arrival in the Forest and the invention of the game of Poohsticks. The characters of Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, Tigger,Kanga and Roo were based upon the real nursery toys belonging to A.A. Milne's son, Christopher Robin, and their adventures are set in the Ashdown Forest where Milne and his family lived. The artist, E.H. Shepard lovingly recreated the Forest and the toys in his drawings, and the places he drew can still be seen today.
