This beautiful edition is sure to delight new and old fans alike!

The story of the honey-loving, bumbling bear Winnie-the-Pooh has been a staple in children’s libraries since its original publication in the 1900s. Venture into the Hundred Acre Wood and join sweet Pooh, understanding Christopher Robin, timid Piglet, downcast Eeyore, impatient Rabbit, loquacious Owl, loving Kanga and Roo, and bold Tigger on their exploits.

In each chapter they have a new adventure, from searching for honey or celebrating birthdays to hunting Heffalumps or navigating a flood. Complete with the original black and white interior illustrations by Ernest Shepard, this edition is the perfect way to experience the children’s classic that has captured imaginations for the past century.

A. A. Milne (1882–1956) was an English playwright, poet, and author. He served in both World Wars, but in peacetime devoted himself to writing. He is best known for his Winnie-the-Pooh books, which were inspired by his son, Christopher Robin Milne.

Ernest Shepard (1879–1976) was an English painter and book illustrator. Encouraged by his parents to pursue art, he attended the Royal Academy Schools and began his career illustrating for Punch magazine. During the First World War, he aided the Intelligence Department by sketching combat areas, and he was later awarded the Military Cross for his service with the Royal Artillery. In addition to his work as an artist, Shepard wrote two autobiographies and two novels for children. He is best remembered for his anthropomorphic animal illustrations in The Wind and the Willows and the Winnie-the-Pooh series.
