Winnie-the-Pooh: The original, timeless and definitive version of the Pooh stories created by A.A.Milne and E.H.Shepard. An ideal gift for children and adults.
“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 with iconic decorations by E.H.Shepard. 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 much-loved classic story collection Pooh gets into a tight place, nearly catches a Woozle and heads off on an ‘expotition’ to the North Pole with the other animals. This stunning edition of A.A.Milne’s world-famous story is once again brought to life by E.H.Shepard’s beautiful decorations which are shown in full, glorious colour. They are truly iconic and contributed to him being known as ‘the man who drew Pooh’. Milne’s masterpiece conveys a child’s imagination like no other story before or since.

About the author
A.A. Milne
1,844 books3,689 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.

Me resulta difícil separar la historia de la pésima edición de este libro. La historia me gusta mucho, desde pequeño me encanta Winnie the Pooh. Pero la edición es pésima, muchos errores de traducción que dificultan la lectura y la comprensión del texto. Si te planteas leerlo, te recomiendo que busques otra edición.

Ha sido una lectura muy tierna, con personajes que me han acompañado desde la infancia y que ya conozco de sobra pero que han cogido aún más volumen con estas historias. Me encanta como el narrador habla con el espectador y le incluye en las conversaciones con Christopher Robin también. La maquetación de este libro me ha parecido preciosa con los dibujos originales.

Approximately one century since his birth, Pooh and his posse fail to age. In fact, they're great medicine for these dark times. I fully enjoyed the read. Mind you, I'm in my fifties. I hadn't read Winnie as a youngin'. The word play's as amusing as it is clever. The illustrations, perfectly huggable. I highly recommend a dose of Winnie the Pooh for one and all.

Winnie the Pooh is a part of my childhood that I reminisce on from time to time. When I stumbled upon this book it was like revisiting an old friend that I haven't seen in a long while. This book was so heart warming and wholesome. I could vividly see everything the narrator was describing. The fact that Christopher Robin was based on A.A. Milne's son and even has the same name is so sweet!

Auf Englisch sehr schwierig zu lesen. Es wird altes Englisch benutzt und die Dialoge sind etwas durcheinander, wie als würde man ein Skript von einem Theater lesen.
Für mich war es oft nicht gut verständlich, was ich für ein Kinderbuch nicht vermutet hätte.
