Blackstone Audio presents (from the unabridged collection ''A.A. Milne's Pooh Classics,'') the ten stories of The House At Pooh Corner, performed by Peter Dennis. This is the only reading of these enthralling stories authorized by A.A. Milne's son, Christopher Robin, who wrote, ''Peter Dennis has made himself Pooh's Ambassador Extraordinary and no bear has ever had a more devoted friend. So if you want to meet the real Pooh, the bear I knew, the bear my father wrote about, listen to Peter.''

In this wonderful companion volume to A.A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh, you will rediscover Pooh, Christopher Robin, Piglet, Eeyore, and all their friends -- and be introduced to the irrepressible and very bouncy Tigger.

About the Author:

A.A. MILNE (1882-1956) was the son of a Scottish schoolmaster. Milne won a scholarship to Westminster School and later read mathematics at Cambridge. His real interest was in light-hearted writing; he edited the undergraduate magazine Granta and at 24 he became assistant editor of Punch. After serving as a signals officer in World War I he won additional acclaim as a playwright. His great success, however, came as a writer of children's literature after publishing a series of verses about his young son Christopher Robin (When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six). Following the acclaim received for the 'Winnie-the-Pooh' books, Milne published several novels as well as an autobiography, It's Too Late Now (1939). His last triumph was a stage adaptation of Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows as Toad of Toad Hall.

From AudioFile:

Have you ever played Pooh Sticks? Do you know what Christopher Robin does in the morning or what Pooh cherishes at eleven o'clock in the morning? Do you know how to cure rambunctious animals, such as a Tigger, of their bounciness? Come to the Forest, a place that is always there for those "friendly with bears," according to A.A. Milne, the author of these beloved tales. Peter Dennis's British accent and gentle, friendly storytelling manner bring the author and his family story times to mind. Dennis is definitive as each character: a no-nonsense rabbit, an especially gloomy Eeyore, an efficient yet loving Kanga, and a snorting Piglet. This recording is a family treasure. A.R.
