A.A. Milne's Pooh stories need no introduction; they have been loved by generations of children and their parents ever since they were first published in 1926. So, they went off together. But wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place on the top of the Forest, a little boy and his Bear will always be playing” This first volume is made up of ten partly separate short stories, where each tale usually has a different 'main protagonist' or a character whose story will be the main plot in every case. For instance, the first tale is a short introduction to my two favorite characters in the book: Pooh Bear and Christopher Robin. The second one has another character who is mainly involved in a particular situation, and then they (those characters who have been introduced to us until that moment) will try to give a solution to that problem, and so on. Besides, every chapter has an accurate title which describes what we are about to read, sometimes in a funny, cheerful way.

I have a little boy and love reading to him, so this reading list will cover the classic (and new) children’s stories we’re enjoying together. There is so much more I could write about these books, but it doesn’t feel that I am really conveying quite how wonderful these stories are, I am not doing them justice – what A.A. Milne along with E.H. Shepard have given us is something very special. Both of these collections are classics in every sense of the word.Let us not forget though the lovely cast of supporting characters, including the timid and excitable Piglet, wise (although not) Owl, morose and self-pitying Eeyore, Kango, Roo, Rabbit (and friends and relations) and many others. In these characters, we see ourselves, we all know and Eeyore, the same as we all know a Rabbit – we are all in there somewhere, in some shape or form.

He married Dorothy "Daphne" de Sélincourt in 1913, and their only son, Christopher Robin Milne, was born in 1920. In 1925, A. A. Milne bought a country home, Cotchford Farm, in Hartfield, East Sussex. During World War II, A. A. Milne was Captain of the Home Guard in Hartfield & Forest Row, insisting on being plain 'Mr. Milne' to the members of his platoon. He retired to the farm after a stroke and brain surgery in 1952 left him an invalid and by August 1953 "he seemed very old and disenchanted". The book focuses on the adventures of a teddy bear called Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends Piglet, a small toy pig; Eeyore, a toy donkey; Owl, a live owl; and Rabbit, a live rabbit. The characters of Kanga, a toy kangaroo, and her son Roo are introduced later in the book, in the chapter entitled "In Which Kanga and Baby Roo Come to the Forest and Piglet has a Bath". A.A. Milnes Winnie-the-Pooh stories are just so simply and so well written, both collections are timeless classics – from the opening lines to the closing ones from the profoundly moving last chapter: Two rows of lime trees transported from Szczecin were planted along the street in 1954. The street building's project is a work of architect Zygmunt Stepiṅski and architecture students from Warsaw University of Technology. I am pretty sure I read this book when I was a kid and loved it. I figured it would be a great book to read out loud to my kids. Unfortunately it ended up being a somewhat painful book to read out loud.

Open Library

That's right. One week to be thin. I'm lovin' it. I have actually met the real Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends. No, for real. When I was stopping by The New York Public Library, they were on display in the children's section. You see Christopher Robin was a real boy, and he had these stuffed animals. A.A. Milne is Christopher Robin's father. Now if only I can get my father to write a best-selling immortal book about me..... Tell me. What does it say about me that Eeyore is and always has been my favorite of the nine friends—Christopher Robin, Pooh, Eeyore, Owl, Kanga and Baby Roo, Tiger, Piglet, Rabbit and his friends and relations? I bet even now, after perhaps many years having passed since you last read this, you will still be able to easily recall each one’s personality.
