Product Description
Winnie-the-Pooh, first introduced by A.A. Milne in 1926, has become the most famous teddy bear in the world. This richly detailed yet exceedingly readable account celebrates Just What Pooh Did in the seventy-five years since he first appeared.
From a stuffed bear bought at Harrods for Christopher Robin Milne's first birthday to the Bear of Very Little Brain loved by millions the world over, Brian Sibley explores how Pooh got his name, how A.A. Milne came to write the stories found in 'Winnie-the-Pooh' and 'The House at Pooh Corner', how Ernest Shepherd came to draw them, and how Winnie-the-Pooh has grown in "health and wisdom and riches" into one of the most cherished literary creations of all time.
Lavishly illustrated with Shepherd's full-colour artwork and original sketches, as well as photographs, newspaper reports, and manuscript pages in Milne's own handwriting, this beautifully designed book is perfect for both seasoned Pooh admirers and those eager to get better acquainted with the Best Bear in All the World - Winnie-the-Pooh.
