Relive your favourite story moments in the HarperCollins Children’s Classics edition of Winnie-the-Pooh featuring E.H.Shepard’s original black line decorations.

'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.'

Winnie-the-Pooh has captivated readers for 100 years!

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.

Milne’s heart-warming stories are beautifully accompanied by E.H. Shepard’s original black line decorations in this HarperCollins Children’s Classics edition of the hugely popular Winnie-the-Pooh story collection.

Children and adults alike love these stories as Pooh gets into a tight place, nearly catches a Woozle and heads off on an ‘expotition’ to the North Pole among other adventures.

• Curl up with a true children’s classic – A.A.Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh.
• Featuring E.H.Shepard’s iconic black line images.
• Milne’s masterpiece reflects the power of a child’s imagination like no other story before or since.
• Relive favourite moments in these stories set in the Hundred Acre Wood.
• With a highly appealing cover design for this edition, that’s a part of the HarperCollins Children’s Classics range.

Milne and Shepard had a unique working relationship for their time. They closely collaborated on the design and layout of the classic Pooh story and poetry collections. This joint approach to laying out the words and illustrations was clearly the perfect partnership; Shepard entirely captured the charm of Pooh’s world, created by Milne, resulting in the gorgeous books we all love.

The nation’s favourite teddy bear has been delighting generations of children for 100 years. Milne’s classic children’s stories – featuring Piglet, Eeyore, Christopher Robin and, of course, Pooh himself – are gently humorous while teaching lessons about friendship and kindness.

Pooh ranks alongside other beloved characters such as Paddington Bear and Peter Rabbit as an essential part of our literary heritage. Whether you’re 5 or 55, Pooh is the Bear for All Ages.

Some retro reviews of the original publication of Winnie-the-Pooh in the 1920s:

“‘Winnie-the-Pooh’ … in which Mr. A. A. Milne has made himself the humble chronicler, and Mr. E. H. Shepard the understanding illustrator, of the adventures of Christopher Robin and his teddy bear, is the ideal gift book.”, Sheffield Daily Telegraph, 9th December 1926

“… a book that children will adore, and that their elders will pick up by stealth and read zestfully to the very end.”, The Aberdeen Press and Journal, 9th December 1926

“Written with a lively fancy and a delicate literary sense, these adventures are sure of a warm welcome in the nursery.”, The Scotsman, 9th December 1926

“Dialogue and situations such as these must have been as delightful to invent as they are delightful to read. And to have one’s fancies so delicately caught by the artistry of Mr. E. H. Shepard – that must have been another delight, which does not come to every author.”, The Sketch, 12th January 1927

Pooh ranks alongside other beloved character such as Paddington Bear, and Peter Rabbit as an essential part of our literary heritage. Whether you’re 5 or 55, Pooh is the bear for all ages.
