Celebrating 100 years of one of the most beloved icons of children’s literature, Winnie-the-Pooh!
Since 1926, Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends–Piglet, Owl, Tigger, and the ever doleful Eeyore–have endured as the unforgettable creations of A.A. Milne, who wrote this book for his son, Christopher Robin, and Ernest H. Shepard, who lovingly gave Pooh and his companions shape. These characters and their stories are timeless treasures of childhood that continue to speak to all of us with the kind of freshness and heart that distinguishes true storytelling. “Winnie-the-Pooh is a joy; full of solemn idiocies and the sort of jokes one weeps over helplessly, not even knowing why they are so funny, and with it all the real wit and tenderness which alone could create a priceless little masterpiece.” —Saturday Review, 1926
