The Complete Winnie-the-Pooh Collection (Winnie-The-Pooh - Classic Editions)

Product Information

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. After the war, he wrote a denunciation of war titled Peace with Honour (1934), which he retracted somewhat with 1940's War with Honour. During World War II, Milne was one of the most prominent critics of English writer P. G. Wodehouse, who was captured at his country home in France by the Nazis and imprisoned for a year. Wodehouse made radio broadcasts about his internment, which were broadcast from Berlin. Although the light-hearted broadcasts made fun of the Germans, Milne accused Wodehouse of committing an act of near treason by cooperating with his country's enemy. Wodehouse got some revenge on his former friend by creating fatuous parodies of the Christopher Robin poems in some of his later stories, and claiming that Milne "was probably jealous of all other writers.... But I loved his stuff."

This is a gem that every serious collector should have in their library, it's a treasure to be unveiled when in the company of an unsuspecting wide eyed child with an insatiable appetite for adventures and lessons on the importance of friendship and kindness to animals and the environment. This beautiful edition brings together four volumes in one stunning slipcased gift book: Winnie-the-Pooh, The House at Pooh Corner, When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six. There’s two volumes of poetry which didn’t really do it for me, I’m not an appreciator of poetry but it doesn’t really tarnish the book because the strength of the tales with Christopher Robin and co are story enough to keep anyone happy, and yes, as expected, the conclusion of the tales was very sad.
