Following on from the Winnie-the-Pooh poems anthologised in 'When We Were Very Young', this is the first volume of stories about the kind-hearted bear named Pooh, by A. A. Milne. These stories chronicle the adventures of Pooh and his friends Christopher Robin, Piglet, Eeyore, Owl, Rabbit, Kanga and her son Roo in the Hundred Acre Wood. The well-loved energetic tiger, Tigger, is not introduced in this anthology of short stories, but there are more than enough tales in this collection to delight readers both young and old.

More than eighty years ago, a young boy named Christopher Robin took his teddy-bear friend Winnie-the-Pooh by one chubby paw and introduced him to the first generation of readers who would come to fall in love with this delightful character. Pooh has endured, slightly rotund, a 'Bear of Very Little Brain', but generous of heart: the immortal creation of A. A.
