Winnie-the-Pooh Goes To London

“London is a very fine place,” announced Pooh.

When Winnie-the-Pooh ventures to London he’s most surprised to encounter a blustery bus, and a wobbly bridge, but the greatest excitement of all is when he stands in front of Buckingham Palace and a very important lady comes out to meet the crowd … Featuring the Shard, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and many other famous London landmarks this is a wonderful celebration of a great city as seen through the eyes of Winnie-the-Pooh, the Bear of Very Little Brain. Mark Burgess’s illustrations, true to the spirit of the original decorations by E.H.Shepard, perfectly capture this incredibly special story. 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.
