Milne grew up in a school - his parents ran Henley House in Kilburn, for young boys - but never intended to be a children's writer. (All ages) -Emilie Coulter About the Author:Ī.A. A childhood is simply not complete without full participation in all of Pooh's adventures. Join Pooh and the gang as they meet a Heffalump, help get Pooh unstuck from Rabbit's doorway, (re)build a house for Eeyore, and try to unbounce Tigger. Milne's classics, Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner, are brought together in this beautiful edition, complete and unabridged, with recolored illustrations by Milne's creative counterpart, Ernest H. To many, Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, and the others are as familiar and important as their own family members. Pooh's status as a "Bear of Very Little Brain" belies his profoundly eternal wisdom in the ways of the world. Happy readers for over 70 years couldn't agree more. When Christopher Robin asks Pooh what he likes doing best in the world, Pooh says, after much thought, "What I like best in the whole world is Me and Piglet going to see You, and You saying 'What about a little something?' and Me saying, 'Well, I shouldn't mind a little something, should you, Piglet,' and it being a hummy sort of day outside, and birds singing."
