Synopsis

Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear! said Piglet to himself. And he wanted to run away. But somehow having got so near, he felt that he must just see what a Heffalump was like. The perfect introduction to Winnie-the-Pooh! Pooh and Piglet decide to catch a Heffalump together, but when Piglet meets one in the middle of the night, he realises that catching Heffalumps is much easier with two. This beautiful little storybook is a great way to introduce young readers to the characters in A. A. Milne's Hundred Acre Wood. Illustrated with E H Shepard's iconic artwork, this is guaranteed to be a bedtime favourite for children aged 5 and up. Look out for the other titles in the collection: Winnie-the-Pooh: Eeyore Loses a Tail; Winnie-the-Pooh: Pooh Goes Visiting; Winnie-the-Pooh and Bees; Winnie-the-Pooh: Eeyore's Birthday. The nation's favourite teddy bear has been delighting generations of children for 90 years. Milne's classic children's stories - featuring Tigger, Piglet, Eeyore, Christopher Robin and, of course, Pooh himself - are both heart-warming and funny, teaching lessons of friendship and reflecting the power of a child's imagination like no other story before or since. 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. A.A.

About this title

About the Author:

A.A. Milne is quite simply one of the most famous children's authors of all time. He created Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends Piglet, Eeyore, Tigger, Kanga and Roo based on the real nursery toys played with by his son, Christopher Robin. And those characters not only became the stars of his classic children's books, Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner, and his poetry for children, they have also been adapted for film, TV and the stage. Through his writings for Punch magazine, A.A. Milne met E.H. Shepard. Shepard went on to draw the original illustrations to accompany Milne's classics, earning him the name "the man who drew Pooh".

From AudioFile:

Milne's delightful stories are dramatized by an equally wonderful collection of British actors. It's hard to pick a favorite, with Jane Horrocks creating the perfect raspy voice for Piglet and Geoffrey Palmer portraying a dour, dejected Eeyore, not to mention Dame Judi Dench, who becomes a terrific Kanga, forcing Piglet to take his medicine and cold bath. But why choose? Part of what's so great about Milne's work is how his beloved characters engage one another, and it's that sometimes-serious, sometimes-playful exchange that these actors illuminate. All these fine actors take their parts most seriously, yet listeners can't help imagine what fun they must have had together, recording this high-quality, highly entertaining production.
