Curl up with a true children’s classic by reading A.A.Milne’s
Winnie-the-Pooh with iconic decorations by E.H.Shepard. “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.” 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 much-loved
classic story collection Pooh gets into a tight place, nearly
catches a Woozle and heads off on an ‘expotition’ to the North
Pole with the other animals. This stunning edition of A.A.Milne’s
world-famous story is once again brought to life by E.H.Shepard’s
beautiful decorations which are shown in full, glorious colour.
They are truly iconic and contributed to him being known as ‘the
man who drew Pooh’. Milne’s masterpiece conveys a child’s
imagination like no other story before or since. Do you own all the
classic Pooh titles? Winnie-the-Pooh The House at Pooh Corner When

When signs appear that a comet is heading towards their beloved
Moominvalley, Moomin and his friend Sniff set sail to consult with

full of adventures and narrow escapes; from crocodiles, giant
lizards, eagles and the like, but new friends - soon to become firm
friends - help lighten the way. In this first and most exciting
Moomin novel, we meet the wandering Snufkin, the fascinating Snork
Maiden and her brother the Snork as they join Moomin in his race to
get home to Moominmamma before the comet crashes.

A brand-new Winnie-the-Pooh story, featuring the best-loved
characters from the Hundred Acre Wood. Whatever we do, there's
always two, there's Winnie-the-Pooh plus Me. And Pooh said, 'That
is very true.' But sort of wondered if I knew, it was two once, but
then it grew... Someone has come along to join Winnie-the-Pooh and
Christopher Robin on their adventure, but who could it be? It can't
be Kanga and Roo - they're sailing a boat - and it can't be Owl,
because he's at home. Could it be Heffalumps who want to eat Pooh's
beloved honey? Or perhaps Pooh and Christopher Robin are
accompanied by a pair of friends who are never far away on a sunny
day. With a gentle rhyming story by bestselling author Jeanne
Willis, inspired by A. A. Milne's classic poem 'Us Two' from Now We
Are Six, and charming illustrations by Mark Burgess, in the style
of E. H. Shepard, this authorised sequel is the perfect gift for
anyone who loves the enchanting world of Winnie-the-Pooh and
friends.
