The House at Pooh Corner

First published in 1928, A. A. Milne’s “The House at Pooh Corner” is the final volume of stories about one of literature’s most beloved and enduring characters. Based upon tales Milne created for his own son, the real-life Christopher Robin, the stories in “The House at Pooh Corner” follow the titular bear and his many friends in their adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood. This volume of Winnie-the-Pooh tales includes several of the characters previously introduced, including Piglet, Eeyore, Heffalump, Rabbit, and Roo, as well as an important new one, Tigger. In a series of adventures we see Milne’s whimsical characters in their silly escapades, which capture the imaginative spirit of youth. Milne wanted to end the “Pooh” series with this volume because his son was growing up and in the final segment of the book we find a sentimental goodbye, one which parallels the departure of youthful fantasy that accompanies adulthood. Fewer characters have had such an enduring impact on children’s literature than those in this series of A. A. Milne’s books. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
