Michael reviewed Winnie-the-Pooh by Ernest H. Shepard (Winnie-the-Pooh, #1)
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.
