When We Were Very Young (1924)

When We Were Very Young is Milne’s first volume of rhymes written especially for children. It’s as popular now as when it was first written. This collection offers the same sense of humour, imagination and whimsy that we’ve come to expect from Milne’s books about Winnie-the-Pooh, that Bear of Very Little Brain.

Winnie-the-Pooh (1926)

Meet the world’s favourite bear in this delightful collection, in which Pooh gets into a tight place, nearly catches a Woozle, and discovers the wrong sort of honey – amongst other things!

Now We Are Six (1927)

See the world through the eyes of Christopher Robin and his companion Winnie-the-Pooh in this timeless collection of verse, a treasure trove of favourite nursery poems including Us Two, Sneezles and The End. This poetry collection is an evocation of childhood, through the eyes of the six-year-old Christopher Robin.

The House at Pooh Corner (1928)

This is the second classic children’s story collection by A.A.Milne about Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood. In this highly popular volume Pooh meets the irrepressible Tigger for the first time, learns to play Poohsticks and sets a trap for a Heffalump.

This facsimile collection is all the more special due to E.H.Shepard’s decorations, which are shown in their original black line glory. They are truly iconic and contributed to him being known as ‘the man who drew Pooh’.

The nation’s favourite teddy bear has been delighting generations of children for 100 years! Milne’s classic children’s stories – featuring Piglet, Eeyore, Christopher Robin and, of course, Pooh himself – are gently humorous while teaching lessons about friendship and kindness.

Pooh ranks alongside other beloved character such as Paddington Bear, and Peter Rabbit as an essential part of our literary heritage. Whether you’re 5 or 55, Pooh is the bear for all ages.

Publisher Review

Original reviews from the 1920s: "... a book that children will adore, and that their elders will ... read zestfully to the very end.", Aberdeen Press, 1926 about Winnie-the-Pooh "I prophesy that Mr. Milne's latest book of verses, 'Now We Are Six,' will appeal to grown-ups as much as to the public for whom it is primarily intended.", Daily Express, 1927 "Milne has the same happy genius that Lewis Carrol had", Dundee Courier, 1926, about Winnie-the-Pooh "No one tells stories quite like Mr Milne", Dundee Courier, 1026 about Winnie-the-Pooh "To children it is something more than a volume, it is a treasure trove - richer in value than Aladdin's Cave or any sunken Spanish galleon that ever carried gold from Peru. In literature it ranks with the highest and the greatest. It is a classic!", Northern Weekly Gazette 1926, about When We Were Very Young "Written with a lively fancy and a delicate literary sense, these adventures are sure of a warm welcome in the nursery.", Scotsman's, 1926, about Winnie-the-Pooh "'Winnie-the-Pooh' ... in which Mr. A. A. Milne has made himself the humble chronicler, and Mr. E. H. Shepard the understanding illustrator, of the adventures of Christopher Robin and his teddy bear, is the ideal gift book.", Sheffield Daily Telegraph, 1926, "Dialogue and situations such as these must have been as delightful to invent as they are delightful to read. And to have one's fancies so delicately caught by the artistry of Mr. E. H. Shepard - that must have been another delight, which does not come to every author.", Sketch, 1927, about Winnie-the-Pooh "'The House at Pooh Corner' marks the culmination of one of the outstanding book successes of this generation.", Sunday Express, 1928, "that ideal collaboration between Mr. Milne and Mr. Shepard", The Daily News, 1928 about The House at Pooh Corner "will delight thousands of children, yes, and grown-ups too.', Yorkshire Post, 1928, about Winnie-the-Pooh
