In 1926, the world was introduced to a portly little bear named Winnie-the-Pooh. Along with his young friend, Christopher Robin, Pooh delighted readers from the very beginning. His often befuddled perceptions and adorable insights won the hearts of everyone around him, including his close group of friends. From the energetic Tigger to the dismal Eeyore, A. A. Milne created a charming bunch, both entertaining and inspirational. These simple creatures often reflected a small piece of all of us: humble, silly, wise, cautious, creative, and full of life. Remember when Piglet did a very grand thing, or Eeyore's almost-forgotten birthday?

Published in celebration of Pooh's 75th anniversary, this illustrious collection holds all the Pooh stories and poems, complete and unabridged. Gorgeous watercolor illustrations from Ernest H. Shepard appear in all their glory. With beautiful colors and simple lines, these images hold their own as classics. The tales, filled with superb story lines and lessons, will continue to capture the hearts of new generations.

Publishers Weekly

Milne's classic stories (Winnie-the-Pooh; The House at Pooh Corner; When We Were Very Young; and Now We Are Six) and Ernest H. Shepard's original illustrations in one gorgeous oversize gift edition. Three Cheers for Pooh: The Best Bear in All the World by Brian Sibly provides readers with a historical reference point, starting with the story of Mrs. Milne's purchase of a stuffed bear at a London department store for their young son, Christopher Robin. Photographs, original manuscript pages and Shepard's sketches and illustrations complete the package. (Oct.) Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.

Meet the Author

A. A. Milne
A. A. Milne
A. A. Milne may not have intended to become a children’s book author, but his greatest creation, the honey-loving bear Winnie the Pooh, is so much a part of the culture that one can scarcely imagine children’s literature without him. Milne created Pooh to entertain his son, Christopher, which he did – and millions of other readers as well.

Biography

It seems strange that A. A. Milne would have not have wanted to be associated with one of literature’s most beloved characters. Having achieved some success as a playwright and novelist, he aspired to be more than only an author of children’s books.

However, Milne’s books -- Winnie-the-Pooh, The House at Pooh Corner, and the verse collections When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six -- are hardly typical of most stories for kids. They remain among the smartest of the genre, and were likely written as much for himself as for his young son, Christopher. Infused with a sly wit, they contain humor that only an adult can appreciate; indeed, some of the poems in When We Were Very Young first appeared in the satiric magazine Punch, where Milne was an editor.

Rendered by illustrator Ernest H. Shepard in quaint, warm watercolors, Pooh and friends Tigger, Kanga, Roo, Owl, Eeyore, and Piglet star in stories about playing games and helping friends in and around their home near “100-Aker Wood.” In one instance of Milne’s ironic humor, a sign outside Owl’s residence reading “PLES RING IF AN RNSER IS REQIRD” is attributed to Pooh’s boy companion Christoper Robin, “who was the only one in the forest who could spell.” The books are written with sophistication and a certain amount of dry British wit, employing turns of phrase (“customary procedure,” “general remarks”) not usually found in children’s stories.

The volumes of verse range over a wider collection of themes, with Pooh appearing in just a few poems. Most of them offer a young person’s perspective on subjects such as imaginary friends, feigning illness, and going to the zoo; and it’s evident how Milne’s work prefigures that of Dr. Seuss (From Going to the Zoo: “There are biffalo-buffalo-bisons/A great big bear with wings/There’s sort of a tiny potamus/A tiny nossarus too”). Other poems feature cowardly knights, buffoonish Sirs, and other fantasy figures.

Little of Milne’s work for adults, which included the autobiography Year In, Year Out and his first novel, Lovers in London, can be easily found in print. One adult title, however, is still being published: the pleasing Gosford Park-style Red House Mystery.

Pooh, meanwhile, continues to grow as a powerful franchise, with modern-day titles, animation, and games that are almost as delightful as Milne’s original texts -- but not quite.

Good To Know

Milne did not set out with any particular desire to write for children: The Pooh books were originally intended for the real Christopher Robin, Milne’s son.

Milne’s teacher and mentor was the scientist and writer H.G. Wells.

He edited Cambridge’s undergrad paper, Granta, and was later the assistant editor of Punch.

Milne wrote several plays that are no longer published, but were once quite popular, including as Mr. Pim Passes By and the Kenneth Grahame adaptation Toad of Toad Hall.

    One of the best book for all ages

    I may seem too old to read Winnie the Pooh, but I think no one's to old to join in to the bear that loves honey. Escape from the Disney version for a while (even though the '77 version is good) and take in Winnie the Pooh in literature. There's more to Pooh than meeets the eye. There is a deep phllisocphical significance behind it: finding happiness in the simplest things and finding ways to solve your problems and just be happy. A.A. Milne was a genius when it came to that.

    A Book for the Family

    The Complete Tales and Poems of Winnie-the-Pooh, by A.A. Miline is a fantastic book for all readers, I give it five stars. There are also wonderful drawings by Ernest H. Shepard. He really knows how to make the characters of the Hundred Acre Wood come alive. Winnie-the -Pooh and all of his friends, Piglet, Eeyore, Owl, Rabbit, Tigger, Kanga, Roo, and the most important Christopher Robin, live in the Hundred Acre Woods together. Piglet is a Very Small Animal, and is scared of most things. Eeyore is a very gloomy donkey. Owl flies all over, and thinks he is smart. Rabbit is smart and he has lots of friends-and-relations. Tigger is a very bouncy animal. He likes to eat medicine. The medicine that he eats is really for Roo, (Roo is a baby kangaroo and lives with his mom, Kanga). Kanga is a kangaroo, she lives with two other people including Tigger and her son, Roo. Christopher Robin is a human boy and he takes care of all his friends, especially Pooh. One of my favorite chapters is the very first one in the book. It is called 'We are introduced to Winnie-the-Pooh and some bees, and the story begins.' It starts out with Christopher Robin dragging Pooh down the steps of his home. Then the narrator goes on and tells a story about all the characters in the Hundred Acre Woods. In the beginning, Pooh is trying to climb a tree so he can get some honey. He is having trouble getting up that high. Pooh then goes to Christopher Robin and asked him if he can borrow a balloon. Christopher Robin goes with Pooh to the tree with the beehive. Pooh attempts looking like a cloud. When this isn't working, Pooh asked Christopher robin to go home and get his umbrella, come back, and then say 'Tut,tut, it looks like rain!'-That is my favorite line of the whole book! I love this chapter, I even remember wacthing the episode as a child on T.V.
