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?
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.
