Description
Winnie-the-Pooh and all of his friends return to the Hundred Acre Wood for more adventures. They meet the irrepressible Tigger for the first time, learn to play Poohsticks and set a trap for a Heffalump. House at Pooh Corner is the second and final children's story by A.A. Milne to feature Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends. This beautiful new edition, re-designed for Pooh's 90th anniversary is highly collectable and will appeal to Pooh fans old and new.
Author Biography
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'.
ReviewsNamed as one of the Ten Essential Children's Books by Books For Keeps 'Winnie-the-Pooh has always been a very special (albeit funny old) bear, not least of all because his books are filled with wonderful words of wisdom.', Stylist magazine 'Winnie-the-Pooh is packed full of timeless wisdom and words that will resonate with you whatever your age.', The Independent 'With a rich storytelling heritage, the adventures of Pooh and his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood represent friendship, simple joys and the curious and gentle nature of a child's imagination.', Vintage Explorer Steve Hogarty said about Winnie-the-Pooh: The Complete Collection of Stories and Poems: 'Lovingly illustrated by E.H.Shepard, the stories of Pooh and his pals are sure to delight little readers and even younger listeners, as they did me.', The Independent
