A lovely collection of poems for children mostly about Christopher Robin and a whole bunch of fantastical characters. Winnie-the-pooh is only there for a couple of them, but it was still lovely.
I simply love A.A. Milne’s books, and J often enjoy them as an adult, but I can tell how children would absolutely LOVE these poems. My edition includes the original illustrations of E. H. Shepard, which are absolutely wonderful.
I think I liked the longer ones as they had more stories to tell.
My favorites include:
- Solitude
- Binker
- The Knight Whose Armour didn’t Squeak
- Us Two
- Forgiven
- The Good Little Girl
- Explained
- Waiting at the Window
