About the author
A.A. Milne
1,836 books3,678 followersAlan Alexander Milne (pronounced /ˈmɪln/) was an English author, best known for his books about the teddy bear Winnie-the-Pooh and for various children's poems.
A. A. Milne was born in Kilburn, London, to parents Vince Milne and Sarah Marie Milne (née Heginbotham) and grew up at Henley House School, 6/7 Mortimer Road (now Crescent), Kilburn, a small public school run by his father. One of his teachers was H. G. Wells who taught there in 1889–90. Milne attended Westminster School and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he studied on a mathematics scholarship. While there, he edited and wrote for Granta, a student magazine. He collaborated with his brother Kenneth and their articles appeared over the initials AKM. Milne's work came to the attention of the leading British humour magazine Punch, where Milne was to become a contributor and later an assistant editor.
Milne joined the British Army in World War I and served as an officer in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment and later, after a debilitating illness, the Royal Corps of Signals. He was discharged on February 14, 1919.
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."
He married Dorothy "Daphne" de Sélincourt in 1913, and their only son, Christopher Robin Milne, was born in 1920. In 1925, A. A. Milne bought a country home, Cotchford Farm, in Hartfield, East Sussex. During World War II, A. A. Milne was Captain of the Home Guard in Hartfield & Forest Row, insisting on being plain 'Mr. Milne' to the members of his platoon. He retired to the farm after a stroke and brain surgery in 1952 left him an invalid and by August 1953 "he seemed very old and disenchanted".
He was 74 years old when he passed away in 1956.

I needed a book with a toy on the cover- bonus if it was a teddy bear. Children's books allowed as long as 100 pgs or more.
I happened to have read the first story in this collection just a few days ago to my young grandson for a bedtime story and he was captivated. So was I. Winnie the Pooh is a sweet honey craving little character who often seems a little befuddled as he goes about with his friends on various small adventures. We are introduced to Winnie the Pooh as he is bounced down the steps by Christopher Robin and we learn how Pooh came to his name.
Very sweet and charming series of stories. I look forward to reading more of the stories to my grandson.

Still a classic
It’s been a long time since I’ve read this… I’ve seen the cartoons forever. It was fun to catch up with the original. Illustrations are charming! Interesting thing is you get to see some of the intentional mis-spellings that don’t quite translate the same in cartoons.

This is the second book in the Winnie-the-Pooh series by A.A. Milne. There’s not much to say other than it’s a wholesome and innocent read that makes you feel like a kid again. Needless to say, I’ll definitely be reading the Winnie-the-Pooh series to my future children, and I’m excited to start the third book.

I had a book like this when I was a kid. You know, OMG of those old large thick hardback books. It fills me with joy and Natalie's to revisit these classic tales with my children. Recommend getting.

Timeless, wholesome fun for the family.
A few parts were difficult for reading aloud (fast-paced dialogue between multiple characters).

What A Fun Read
I enjoyed reading this as a older woman. I felt the joy of being each of the characters. You are never too old to read Winnie- the- Pooh.

Brace yourself for a whimsical journey into your imagination! I appreciated the relatable characters and nonsensical fun in this book. It was as though I were transported into Pooh’s world and adventures with his friends. I liked the touches of humor, like when Eeyore received a popped balloon and empty honey jar for his birthday. It’s funnier in the author’s words than mine. Read it and see for yourself!
