Presents a comprehensive, unabridged collection of Winnie-the-Pooh
stories, accompanied by Shepard's original full-color illustrations, as
well as headbands and ribbon markers, colorful bookplate, and biographies
of the author and illustrator.
When Christopher Robin asks Pooh what he likes doing best in the world,
Pooh says, after much thought, "What I like best in the whole world is
Me and Piglet going to see You, and You saying 'What about a little something?'
and Me saying, 'Well, I shouldn't mind a little something, should you,
Piglet,' and it being a hummy sort of day outside, and birds singing."
Happy readers for over 70 years couldn't agree more. Pooh's status as
a "Bear of Very Little Brain" belies his profoundly eternal wisdom in the
ways of the world. To many, Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, and the others
are as familiar and important as their own family members. A.A. Milne's
classics, Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner, are
brought together in this beautiful edition, complete and unabridged, with
recolored illustrations by Milne's creative counterpart, Ernest H. Shepard.
Join Pooh and the gang as they meet a Heffalump, help get Pooh unstuck
from Rabbit's doorway, (re)build a house for Eeyore, and try to unbounce
Tigger. A childhood is simply not complete without full participation in
all of Pooh's adventures. (All ages) --Emilie Coulter
Stop everything! If at least one copy of each of these classics is
not in a prominent place on your bookshelf, your home and your progeny's
childhood is incomplete. Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends--blustery old
Owl, bouncy Tigger, clever Christopher Robin, glum Eeyore, and the rest--have
been a staple of children's literature for over 70 years in A.A. Milne's
Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner. And Milne's
immortal collections of children's verse, When We Were Very Young
and Now We Are Six, have soothed many a savage beast at bedtime
with such incomparable delights as "If I Were King" and "Us Two." All four
of these classics, complete with Ernest H. Shepard's original illustrations,
are gathered here in a handsome boxed set. These hardcover editions will
most certainly be a cherished legacy to be handed down for generations
to come. After all, as Rabbit says solemnly one day, "Without Pooh, the
adventure would be impossible." (Ages 3 to 103) --Emilie Coulter

For nearly seventy years, readers have been delighted by the adventures
of Christopher Robin and his lovable friends. Paired with the perfectly
suited drawings of Ernest H. Shepard, A. A. Milne's classic story continues
to captivate children of all ages.
Seventy-five years ago, that most beloved of "silly old bears," Winnie-the-Pooh,
came down the stairs, "bump, bump, bump," on the back of his head, behind
Christopher Robin. And now, after generations of children have grown up
on stories about Pooh's adventures with his forest friends, the four all-time
children's classics from A.A. Milne and Ernest H. Shepard have been collected
in one hefty, handsome volume for another multitude of generations to enjoy.
Gathered together are the poems and tales that celebrate heffalumps, Eeyore's
birthday, the unbouncing of Tigger, Disobedience, Buckingham Palace, and
sneezles. The stories about Pooh getting stuck in Rabbit's doorway, Piglet
doing a "Very Grand Thing," and Eeyore losing a tail (and Pooh finding
one) are timeless favorites for children--and grownups--of all ages. Four
original classics are here, in all their glory: Winnie-the-Pooh,
The House at Pooh Corner, When We Were Very Young, and Now
We Are Six. This beautiful edition features complete, unabridged text
and all of Shepard's original illustrations, each hand painted in watercolors--this
is a true collector's gem. (All ages) --Emilie Coulter
Lifelong devotees and new friends of the Bear of Very Little Brain

stories brought together in one beautiful volume. Milne's prose and Ernest
H. Shepard's drawings-including full-color art created especially for these
editions-perfectly capture the feelings of childhood.
This unique gift set includes all four of the original A. A. Milne
classic books plus Return to the Hundred Acre Wood, the only authorized
volume of new tales about Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends.

Among the favorite bedtime stories
of Walt Disney's own children were A.A. Milne's tales of a round bear named
Winnie the Pooh. Realizing how popular these tales would be with all children,
Walt Disney decided that the creatures of the Hundred-Acre Wood deserved
to be immortalized in animated film. The stories from all the classic movies
have been collected together in this gorgeous treasury perfect for sharing.
"One day when Pooh Bear had nothing else to do, he thought he would
do something, so he went round to Piglet's house to see what Piglet was
doing." Thus begins The House At Pooh Corner, A.A. Milne's wonderful companion
volume to 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.
