Description
A.A. Milne\'s writing reaches the hearts of readers of all ages. His poems weave together the worlds of reality and enchanting make-believe. And they are paired perfectly with Ernest H. Shepard\'s whimsical illustrations.\r\n\r\nAbout the Author\r\nA.A.Milne was born in London in 1882. He began writing as a contributor to Punch magazine, and also wrote plays and poetry. Winnie-the-Pooh made his first appearance in Punch magazine in 1923. Soon after, in 1926, Milne published his first stories about Winnie-the-Pooh, which were an instant success. Since then, Pooh has become a world-famous bear, and Milne\'s stories have been translated into approximately forty-different languages.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nE. H. Shepard famously illustrated both \'Winnie-the-Pooh\' and \'The Wind in the Willows\' though, like A A Milne, much of his career was devoted to work for the satirical magazine Punch. To do the illustrations for \'Winnie-the-Pooh\', Shepard observed the real Christopher Robin Milne, but not the real Pooh. The bear in the pictures is in fact based on Growler, a toy belonging to Shepard\'s own son.\r\n\r\n
