About the author
A.A. Milne
1,847 books3,723 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.

A bit disappointing. I feel like you always hear these beautiful quotes from Winnie the Pooh, and in 150 pages there seemed to be a lot of unnecessary quotes. Found only a few that I felt was worthy of a book of quotations.

A collection of quotes from "Winnie-the-Pooh" and "The House at Pooh Corner", as well as "When We Were Very Young" and "Now We Are Six" (books about Christopher Robin as a younger child), categorised into themes such as Weather, Birthdays, Friends, and Being Brave.
A cute and comforting collection for anyone with even a passing interest in Pooh Bear's world, especially if you're interested in Eeyore's sassiness.

3.5 delightful illustrations throughout. The quotes conjure up memories of the Pooh stories.
“I think not today, dear. Another day.”
“Tomorrow?” Said Roo hopefully.
“We’ll see,” said Kanga.
“Your always seeing, and nothing ever happens,” said Roo sadly.
—The House at Pooh Corner.
“Pooh knew what he meant,
but being a bear with Very Little Brain,
could not think of the words.”

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.
("What does 'under the name' mean?" asked Christopher Robin. "It means he had the name over the door in gold letters and lived under it.")
- Winnie the Pooh
Love this book! In these pages I can always find the perfect quotation for any situation.
