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.
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 story Pooh gets into a tight place, nearly catches a Woozle and heads off on an ‘expotition’ to the North Pole with the other animals.
In this stunning edition of Winnie-the-Pooh, A.A.Milne’s world-famous story is once again brought to life by E.H.Shepard’s decorations. Heart-warming and funny, Milne’s masterpiece reflects the power of a child’s imagination like no other story before or since.
