The nation’s favourite teddy bear has been delighting generations of children for over 95 years. Milne’s classic children’s stories – featuring Piglet, Eeyore, Christopher Robin and, of course, Pooh himself – are gently humorous while teaching lessons about friendship and kindness.
Pooh ranks alongside other beloved character such as Paddington Bear, and Peter Rabbit as an essential part of our literary heritage. Whether you’re 5 or 55, Pooh is the bear for all ages.
‘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, 2017
“With a rich storytelling heritage, the adventures of Pooh and his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood represent friendship, simple joys and the curious and gentle nature of a child’s imagination.” – Vintage Explorer
‘Winnie-the-Pooh is packed full of timeless wisdom and words that will resonate with you whatever your age.’, 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
