Winnie-the-Pooh: Doubt & Disquiet for Worriers
‘What?’ said Piglet, with a jump. And then, to show that he hadn’t been frightened, he jumped up and down once or twice in an exercising sort of way.
It’s hardly surprising that Piglet, a Very Small Animal, should find the Hundred Acre Wood a rather alarming place. Full of nervously twitching ears and an extreme lack of pluck, this is the perfect gift for those of an anxious disposition. It is part of a brand-new range of Winnie-the-Pooh gift books for adults - a beautifully presented range of four books to collect and enjoy!

About the author
A.A. Milne
1,844 books3,688 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.

There's something very special about Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends which is why these characters are still so popular nearly 100 years after the first story about them was published. I grew up reading the books, also having them read to me long before I was able to read them myself, so I'll always have a soft spot for them all and they always put a smile on my face. Thats why I was so excited to discover Egmont have created the Now We Are Grown Up collection of Winnie-the-Pooh quote books aimed at adults. These are gorgeous little hardbacks that are perfect for dipping in and out of and each one includes fabulous quotes from the stories by A.A. Milne along with E.H. Shepard's gorgeous original illustrations.
Each book collects quotes related to a different mood or feeling and as I'm sure you can guess Winnie-the-Pooh: Doubt & Disquiet for Worriers gives Piglet a chance to show us that even the most timid can be brave and usually things aren't quite as bad as you thought they would be. There are so many fabulous quotes but I've included a couple of my favourites just to give you an idea what you can expect:

This book really spoke to me.
I didn't know how much like piglet I was until I read this.
It has you smiling and cooing at certain pages. Highly recommend.

Who doesn't love Winnie-the-Pooh? There's just something about Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends Piglet, Rabbit, Tigger, Eeyore, Kanga and Roo - their simple way of thinking, how they get things wrong in funny ways, their clever plans, their bravery and their friendship - that we can't help but fall in love with them.
And that love doesn't go away just because we're not children any more. We still have fond memories of our time with the friends, and their individual personalities. Thankfully, Egmont have published four little quote books especially for adults, the Winnie-the-Pooh: Now We Are Grown Up range, featuring snippets of our favourite The One Hundred Acre Wood inhabitants and what they got up to; Doubt & Disquiet for Worriers, Little Somethings & Smackerels for Food Lovers, Doom & Gloom for Pessimists, and Deep Thoughts and Ponderings for the Wise.
Doubt & Disquiet for Worriers focuses on Piglet, who is probably my favourite of all the characters - or maybe joint tied with Pooh Bear himself. This book is me all over, being such a worrier. Not only does it show when Piglet is worrying over nothing, but it also shows the times when he's brave, even if he's scared. A cute and sweet reminder that even the Very Small and anxious of us can find courage, and support in our friends.
Each book takes a look at one specific character, with a few quotes here and there from the others thrown in. These books are adorable and brought many a smile to my face. With Christmas round the corner, they would make perfect gifts. Tailor a book to your friends personalities, or give the book that focuses on their favourite character. Or, if they're a huge fan, give them all! And don't forget to buy one or all four for yourself while you're at!
Thank you to Egmont for the review copy.

The perfect gift for a Winnie the Pooh lover
These are not new stories but collections of quotes relating to the theme of each book,
In this case it mostly revolves around Piglet and all his worrying but it also shows his brave moments and its just so cute!
They are tiny! For the price I was expecting a bit more, but they are only around 60 pages, half of which are pictures. But good things come in small packages and the colours and covers are gorgeous.
I have to say this was one of my favourites of the four. (I started with the Eeyore pessimists one and that one is a bit sad, whereas the food lovers and the deep thoughts are more amusing!)
Perfect addition to my little Winnie collection.

Sweet and occasionally made me laugh.

Cute little books filled with the best quotes and snippets from the beautiful works of A. A. Milne. Fully recommend for Winnie the Pooh fans, but maybe not for people trying to find inspirational words of wisdom

Keepsake of my three-year anniversary with my partner as he bought this for me from the Bluebell Railway shop along with a pin with bluebells. There's something relaxing about Pooh but I think I have so much of Piglet in me too.
