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.''

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:

Jim Broadbent continues his stellar interpretations of the characters he created in last year's extraordinary narration of WINNIE-THE-POOH. Broadbent's character voices are flawlessly pitched. Whiny Eeyore, bouncy Tigger, exuberant little Roo, sensible but anxious Piglet, and, most especially, the loving but fluff-brained Pooh have their last adventures together as they all come to terms with the end of life as they know it in the Hundred Acre Wood. Christopher Robin is going off to school, changing this childhood landscape forever. Matching the perfect voices created previously, Broadbent once again breathes life into Christopher Robin and his playthings. His renditions of these staples of children's literature are sure to become classics. S.G.
