A.A. Milne's Pooh stories need no introduction; they have been loved by generations of children and their parents ever since they were first published in 1926.

In his autobiography, Milne wrote: 'The animals in the stories came for the most part from the nursery. My collaborator [his wife] had already given them individual voices, their owner by constant affection had given them the twist in their features which denotes character, and Shepard drew them, as one might say, from the living model.'

Review of 'Winnie-the-Pooh (Winnie-the-Pooh, #1)' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Winnie-the-Pooh is often aimed at very young children, but it has a depth and wit that is completely lost on them. There’s a subtle insight into humanity that is obvious to anyone who’s a bit older, sometimes funny and sometimes touching, and for that reason I’d recommend this for children aged 9 and up, as well as to any adult in the world. I was utterly delighted by these stories, although some of the later ones were a little less inspired.

Second reading: Still a lovely book, but perhaps dragging sometimes.
