NEW stunning paperback edition showcasing the reproduced original E.H.Shepard art with Milne’s classic, timeless poetry for children.
‘Hush! Hush! Whisper who dares! Christopher Robin is saying his prayers!'
E.H. Shepard’s original, iconic artwork has been reproduced for this 100th anniversary range so it truely pays homage to the vividness of the original art that accompanied Milne’s classic, favourite stories.
In this famous collection of verse for children, we join Christopher Robin and his friends for a trip to Buckingham Palace, learn what a King likes for his breakfast and meet a much-loved bear for the very first time.
Curl up with A.A.Milne’s classic book of poetry for children, When We Were Very Young. This is the first volume of rhymes written especially for children by Milne – as popular now as when they were first written.
This special 100th anniversary paperback collection is a heart-warming and funny introduction to children’s poetry, offering the same sense of humour, imagination and whimsy that we’ve come to expect from Milne's favourite books about Winnie-the-Pooh, that Bear of Very Little Brain.
This book is all the more special due to E.H.Shepard’s decorations, which are shown in full, glorious colour. They are truly iconic and contributed to him being known as ‘the man who drew Pooh’.

The nation’s favourite teddy bear has been delighting generations of children for nearly 100 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 magazine
‘… the perfect antidote for trying times.’, 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
