‘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
‘Winnie the Pooh is as popular now as he was 95 years ago, not least with collectors’, Lancashire Post
‘It’s so easy as a child to identify with Winnie-the-Pooh. The humour doesn’t talk down at you … Mainly, though, I love the way the characters are so distinct. Even as a child you can recognise the innocence of Piglet or the strange adult qualities of Eeyore. You just know you are with friends and family.’ Jim Broadbent in The Telegraph
Praise for Once There Was a Bear:
‘Often, the original is the best and any attempts to recreate a classic will simply flop. But with Once There Was a Bear the process was so painstaking, the writing so charming and the illustrations such a lovely echo of the past that reading it feels simultaneously like experiencing the very old and the brand new all at once.’, Artists and Illustrators magazine
‘For those who don’t know the background of the bear bought from Harrods and how he met his friends, it’s a treat.’, Daily Mail Christmas gift guide
‘Not only is Winnie-the-Pooh a much-loved character, the appeal of these stories is enduring. They have followed me through my childhood, into adulthood and, now, I can share these cherished books with the next generation. I’m reminded of the power of reading, of shared stories and connection. There’s something wonderful about that.’, Northern Soul
‘It's the forest where Christopher Robin once played, and here, a new generation are keen to retrace Pooh's history.’, WYNT.com
