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.

“Remember that another time, all of you. A little Consideration, a little Thought for Others, makes all the difference.”
🍯🧸🌼💛💛🌼🧸🍯
Oh, Winnie-the-Pooh. The whimsical and wholesome Disney movies were a staple of my childhood. The novel, while not my most favorite book, gave me the same feelings. The characters have such distinct and quirky personalities, and it was fun to read about their many adventures.
I still find it so beautiful that Christopher Robin is A. A. Milne's actual son, and the characters are based on his actual stuffed animals 😭😭 it's the sweetest thing I can't. My heart.
(If you Google "real Winnie-the-Pooh stuffed animals, you can see pictures of them! I believe they are currently on display in a museum!)

2 stars for nostalgia.
I was never a huge Pooh fan growing up but I saw this on Kindle last reads and thought I'd give it a shot. I am not a fan of this book or the characters or the writing style. I know the original text was written as letters to the authors son and then converted into books. That is the only reason it is getting 2 stars instead of 1. I am happy I read this but I will not be reading any more Whinny-the-Pooh in the future.

Rating: 4½ stars.
Wonderfully charming and legitimately funny. Shepard's illustrations are fantastic too, and help introduce some fun visual humour, like Rabbit and Owl being the only two characters that are (and are thus drawn like) real animals.
Easily recommended, even to people like myself who actually never read any Winnie-the-Pooh as a kid.

A sweetly, sardonic set of stories in the Hundred Acre Wood. It was lovely to revisit so many childhood stories. Like Narnia, it has a very "read aloud" quality that makes the voice all the more rich and inviting.

I will always love Winnie The Pooh and the poems were adorable

Ένιωσα για λίγο Κρίστοφερ Ρόμπιν, να μου διαβάζουν ιστορίες και να νιώθω και 'γω φίλη με έναν αγαθό και καλόκαρδο αρκούδο.

I started liking this more by the end, once I got to understand the characters more.
I don't really appreciate self depreciation, specially in books intended for children, even considering that this book was published, at the moment of reading it, 99 years ago. I'm talking mainly about Pooh constantly repeating that he has very little brain.
But slowly we see that he has other qualities and even his lack of brain gets somewhat redeemed by the end, so it gets better. As the book went on, it grew on me and I started to appreciate the actual genius of Pooh and also his innocence and ingenuity. But what I liked the most was this being the imaginary world created by an unidentified adult for a little boy and his toys, that was clever. The drawings were great too, I really liked them.

I love the newly updated/revised edition with the glossy pages and colorful illustrations (the sketches themselves remain the same- they’re just colored). This is such a sweet, delightful read- so timeless and priceless! It took me back to my childhood, and every child, therefore should know of the magic that is Pooh, his orgin(s), and his adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood with his friends. This story truly is a classic that will never get old!

A Children’s Classic
This is a really good book. Pooh was the star of every chapter. Imagination and creativity for every child no matter their age to visit over time and be reminded of childhood stories.

Beautiful, wholesome reading.
I adored this! I felt so happy reading such a classic tale to my kids each night. We really enjoyed each character and their individual reactions and stories. It was cute, fun and the illustrations are adorable. 🥰

Wonderful
As delightful now as when I was a child. But now I understand it better. I used to get confused by how everyone lived in the forest.

Read this to my 4 year old daughter because she loves watching Winnie the Pooh. Love the characters, had a tough time reading the run on sentences out loud. 😬

Such a delightful read. I read these all when I was the kid. I had like a box set. It feels so cozy to read them again. The illustrations are great too. I used it as my bedtime read and I highly recommend
