    About this ebook

    'Once upon a time, a very long time ago now, about last Friday, Winnie-the-Pooh lived in a forest all by himself under the name of Sanders'


    Curl up with a true children’s classic by reading A.A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh.


    Winnie-the-Pooh may be a bear of very little brain, but thanks to his friends Piglet, Eeyore and, of course, Christopher Robin, he’s never far from an adventure. In this story Pooh gets into a tight place, nearly catches a Woozle and heads off on an ‘expotition’ to the North Pole with the other animals.


    In this stunning edition of Winnie-the-Pooh, A.A. Milne’s world-famous story is once again brought to life by E.H. Shepard’s illustrations. Heart-warming and funny, Milne’s masterpiece reflects the power of a child’s imagination like no other story before or since.

    The House at Pooh Corner


    When We Were Very Young


    Now We Are Six

    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.


    A.A. Milne is quite simply one of the most famous children’s authors of all time. He created Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends Piglet, Eeyore, Tigger, Kanga and Roo based on the real nursery toys played with by his son, Christopher Robin. And those characters not only became the stars of his classic children’s books, Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner, and his poetry for children, they have also been adapted for film, TV and the stage. Through his writings for Punch magazine, A.A. Milne met E.H. Shepard. Shepard went on to draw the original illustrations to accompany Milne’s classics, earning him the name “the man who drew Pooh”.

      Love love love love love love love. Enough said.
    • 5/5
      I enjoyed reading this book again, especially with the movie Christopher Robin coming out. I read the 80th Anniversary Edition (it came out in 2006) which means that this book is close to celebrating its 100th Anniversary and is just as inviting to children today as it was then. The book is made up of chapters, which are actually individual stories. Winnie-The-Pooh was actually called Edward Bear, and Christopher Robin named him Winnie the Pooh after seeing Winnie the Bear at the zoo. All the characters I remember were in the book, stuffed animals Piglet, Kanga and Roo, real animals Rabbit and Owl. Tigger is not in this book, he appeared in the second one. Children will enjoy these stories about these talking animals and their friend Christopher Robin. They are constantly having adventures or getting themselves in trouble. Such fun! Reading one story a night before bedtime would help introduce a new generation to Winnie-The-Pooh. The illustrations are reproductions from the original watercolours done by Ernest H. Shepard and are so whimsical and bring back an earlier, easygoing time.I didn’t remember the songs that Pooh made up in the story, but I still remember the songs from the Disney movie. My mother bought me a copy of the soundtrack on LP and I listened to it over and over. I loved those songs. I am happy that I got a chance to read it again.

      A childhood favorite.
    • 3/5
      How do you review such a charming sweet classic? Maybe you don't. It is whimsical and lyrical, and very very tongue in cheek and aimed at the adults as well as the children. And has some very clever bits (the bit where Pooh and Piglet hunt their own footprints is lovely) and some bits that make the over sensitised liberal in me cringe (Pooh eats too much when visiting, and gets stuck, and gets starved for a week.) And I'm not sure what to make of the plot 'Rabbit decides something should be done about Kanga, because she is Strange, and decides to steal her child to encourage her to leave the forest, but she deals with it with good humour and then they all stay as friends.'.
    • 5/5
      I had forgotten how funny these actually are. :)
    • 5/5
      Dennis' narration is masterful, delightful and true to the spirit of Milne in every particular. I recommend this audio version without reservation.
    • 5/5
      This is a classic novel about Winnie the Pooh and his friends that live in the woods with him. This book is a great for children of all ages. The book can be used to focus on the importance of friendship.
    • 3/5
      This book is great to read to children of many ages. Especially for children learning about friendship. This book is about Winnie the Pooh who lived alone in the forest. His friend Christopher Robin lived in a different part of the woods. Winnie the pooh had friends who lived in the woods also named Piglet, Eeyore, Rabbit, Owl, And Kanga who was baby Roos mother. Read to see what wonderful times they have together!
    • 5/5
      A wonderful childhood tale of a boy and his bear that chronicles their adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood. A true classic for children and adults of all ages!
    • 4/5
      This was a very interesting experience, not least of which because I am a huge Pooh fan. This was delightful. Rabbit wasn't as endearing as he is on screen, a bit underhanded and prejudicial against outsiders. I thought that the whole place was the Hundred Acre Wood, but it must only be a small part of the entirety of Pooh's world. Interesting. Rabbit had a lot of relatives, but there was no Tigger and no Gopher. Not that I'm surprised. Gopher kind of was fazed out lately anyway. And Tigger seemed very Disney to start with. I'll keep listening to them though. It's interesting.
    • 5/5
      This is the story of Pooh bear and his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood. This is a classic book that teaches the value of friendship.
    • 5/5
      So cute! It is easy to see why these stories are so iconic. Incredibly funny, cleverly written, and entertaining. Reading these outloud to small children induced lots of giggles. Definitely deserves a place as one of the Top 100.
    • 4/5
      we read the book in school in Germany. It is very nice. but I think it is for small children. The storys of Winnie Pooh are nice and easy to understand. It is the first book we read in English class in Germany.
    • 4/5
      Delightful stories of the Hundred-Acre Wood and all of its lovable characters. Pooh and friends have quite a few adventures (or misadventures) in this collection of Winnie-the-Pooh stories. The stories remind me of childhood, making them special each time I reread them. I wouldn't even be able to choose my favorite chapter in this book -- each one is full of wonder, laughter, and Pooh.
    • 5/5
      To put it simply, this is (despite its age) one of the freshest works of fiction I've read in a long time. The playful approach to narration and the perfectly integrated illustrations (which are themselves some of the best and freshest examples of their kind I've seen) amaze me; but really it's the snappy language, the perfect turns of phrase that have stayed with me. This is a Sustaining Book, a true masterpiece that's all the more so masterful for seeming so easy, almost accidental.
    • 5/5
      Re-reading these short stories as an adult I was overwhelmed by the fantastic wit which I'd completely missed as a child. A book-and a philosophy of life- to cherish.
    • 3/5
      I thought it was a good book and it was very cute. I would like it more than others because i really love winnie the pooh and when i read it i felt like i was in the hundred acre wood. Its good to read to little kids.
    • 5/5
      My opinion on Winnie the Pooh may be biased because growing up I was always read Pooh stories as well as watched all the cartoons. Going back as an adult and reading this book I loved it just as much as when I was a child. The things I liked about this book was that it is so light and adventurous just as a child should be. I like how Pooh was not the most intelligent giving it a humorous aspect as the reader goes through and sees the ridiculous ideas he comes up with and finds to be brilliant. I also like the humor of how Pooh is always hungry, in every story he is gorging on honey at some point. Something I also really like about Winnie the Pooh is the bond of friendship it displays. The friendship between Christopher Robin and the animals of the Hundred Acre Woods and the relationship developed between all the animals that live there. "“If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.” There are numerous heartfelt friendship quotes as this one throughout the book that make it all the more pleasing to read. I also like how Milne used Shepard to illustrate the book because while his illustrations are simple they carry a quaint eloquence that ties into the tone of the text nicely. This book has stayed a favorite over 90 years after its publication I believe because of its message of lively, adventurous, innocent youth.

      Prima di trovare l'orso su quaderni, puzzle e giochi per bambini per colpa del franchising Disney c'erano i racconti originali.
      Le storie di Puh nascono per intrattenere Christopher Robin, figlio dell'autore e i personaggi che le popolano (Puh, Porcelletto, Isaia...) sono in realtà i pupazzi con cui gioca il bambino.
      I racconti sono molto carini, ingenui come sono spesso i bambini e ricchi di avventure per divertirli; i disegni sono belli, decisamente migliori di quelli fumettosi fatti oggi per vendere gli omonimi giocattoli.

      ---
      Before the notebooks, puzzles and children games with the famous Pooh distributed by the Disney franchise the original stories existed.
      The short stories about Pooh were written to entertain Christopher Robin, the writer's son; the characters were originally the toys the children played with.
      The stories are cute, naive as children often are, and rich of enjoyable adventures; the drawings are beautiful, in my opinion better than the comics-like ones used today to sell the homonyms toys.
    • 5/5
      I hardly know what to say about Winnie-the-Pooh. I have a lot of memories tied up in it that I couldn't help thinking of as I read it (including one unpleasant one where as a bitty little girl, I read in bed with the massive complete collection book, and had it on my stomach, and began to feel very queasy...). In some ways it seems much funnier now I'm an adult and understand the wordplay and the remarks that are made at the expense of the characters.

      I love the illustrations, too -- they're perfect: less fully formed than the Disney, and (in editions that are in colour) in fainter colours, somehow more dreamlike.

      My favourite story in this book (the first) is probably the one about Eeyore's tail. And my favourite parts are the poems/songs Pooh writes/sings.

      It would be an awfully funny thing to write my essay -- in the final year of my degree! -- on Winnie-the-Pooh, wouldn't it?
    • 5/5
      You can't go wrong with Winnie-the-Pooh. This is childhood personified. But childhood is dark as well. Pooh gets shot! Loved it then and I love it now.
    • 1/5
      Had Christopher Robin and his silly old bear been shot in the head at the beginning, it could have been a pretty good book.
      I don't like beings with very little brain, although I don't particularly hate them either, but I do hate those who find them cute, so actually I hate the overratedness of the book rather than the book itself. (Same with The Little Prince.)
    • 5/5
      Simply a clasic; 1957 Methuen reprint of original first published on October 14th 1926
    • 5/5
      The Disney film stayed very true to this book, but there is a magic in reading the story instead. I enjoyed this immensely and would recommend it to anyone that has seen the films or anyone looking for wholesome tales to tell their children. I was more than pleased with this book and glad it is one of the books I finally read even if it was as an adult.
    • 5/5
      This...this teaches you life!
    • 5/5
      You read this as a child, and fall in love with the characters, and the stories, and then you read it as an adult and find yourself in histerical fits of laughter, and complete and utter belief that this book tells you all you need to know about life and how to deal with it.
    • 5/5
      What can I say about this book? Except that if you haven't read it, you really must. A truly wonderful story to read-aloud and suitable for all ages, young and old. The language and the illustrations are both equally beautiful. The 7yo has always been a big Winnie the Pooh fan and seeing the twinkle in his eyes as I read this to him is priceless. These would also make wonderful bedtime stories as each chapter is pretty much a self-contained story, though reference to past events is occasionally mentioned. We are both looking forward to reading the sequel, The House at Pooh Corner. I only wish Milne had written more.
    • 5/5
      I love these stories. They are very simple and loving tales of a little boy and his imagination. His "stuffed" friends live in a world which he can visit and have wonderful adventures with them, being their fearless and intelligent leader. The great thing is, is that they continue on in that world, even when the boy must needs be elsewhere.
    • 5/5
      I love reading this to my children. The voices of the characters are so distinctive and the language that Milne squeezes into this classic make it a total delight.
    • 4/5
      Christopher Robin, Winnie-the-Pooh, and all their friends have adventures in the woods and meadows around Christopher Robin's home. Eeyore is always depressed but included in the friends' adventures. Pooh has, as he himself says, very little brain, and he loves his honey, but he tries to be kind and generous, even if he doesn't always get it right. Owl lives in the Hundred Acre Wood, and everyone knows he's the wisest of them, even if perhaps he doesn't know quite as much as he might. All the friends are distressed and alarmed, and perhaps a little jealous, because of the arrival in their forest of Kanga, and her tiny child, Roo, whom she carries in her pocket.

      These are delightful stories that most adults will remember from childhood, and Peter Dennis reads them beautifully.

      Recommended.
