A. A. Milne (1882-1956) is an author best known for his creation of Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and the other beloved creatures of the Hundred Acre Wood. A veteran of both World Wars, he was also a noted playwright and author of nonfiction, novels, and poetry.
‘Winnie-the-Pooh has always been a very special (albeit funny old) bear, not least of all because his books are filled with wonderful words of wisdom.', Stylist magazine
‘… the perfect antidote for trying times.’, The Independent
Steve Hogarty said about Winnie-the-Pooh: The Complete Collection of Stories and Poems: ‘Lovingly illustrated by E.H.Shepard, the stories of Pooh and his pals are sure to delight little readers and even younger listeners, as they did me.’, The Independent
Some retro reviews of the original publication from the 1920s:
“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, 18th September 1926
“Now, when Mr. A. A. Milne started the ‘Christopher Robin’ poems in ‘Punch’ he was starting something altogether bigger than he knew.”, Sheffield Daily Telegraph, 9th December 1926
“When Mr. Milne began four years ago to write verses for his small son, and, through ‘Punch’, had the good fortune to have them illustrated by Mr. E. H. Shepard, he little realised that within a few months five continents would be clamouring for the adventures of ‘Christopher Robin’ and his pets.”, Sunday Express, 21st October 1928
