Each volume features the original E.H.Shepard decorations in full colour.Milne and Shepard had a unique working relationship for their time, in that they closely collaborated on the design of the storybooks and poetry.

Milne has made himself the humble chronicler, and Mr. E. H. Shepard the understanding illustrator, of the adventures of Christopher Robin and his teddy bear, is the ideal gift book., Sheffield Daily Telegraph, 9th December 1926 a book that children will adore, and that their elders will pick up by stealth and read zestfully to the very end., The Aberdeen Press and Journal, 9th December 1926Written with a lively fancy and a delicate literary sense, these adventures are sure of a warm welcome in the nursery., The Scotsman, 9th December 1926Dialogue and situations such as these must have been as delightful to invent as they are delightful to read. And to have ones fancies so delicately caught by the artistry of Mr. E. H. Shepard that must have been another delight, which does not come to every author., The Sketch, 12th January 1927When Mr. Milne began four years ago to write verses for his small son, and, through Punch, had the good fortune to have them illustrated by Mr. E. H. Shepard, he little realised that within a few months five continents would be clamouring for the adventures of Christopher Robin and his pets., Sunday Express, 21st October 1928 NEW stunning collection showcasing the original E.H.Shepard art with A.A.Milnes timeless stories.Once upon a time, a very long time ago now, about last Friday, Winnie-the-Pooh lived in a forest all by himself under the name of Sanders.

Official NEW collectible edition of original illustrated Pooh stories and poetry
A.A.Milne was born in London in 1882 and became a highly successful writer of plays, poems and novels. He based Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet and friends on the real nursery toys of his son Christopher Robin and published the first book of their adventures together in 1926. Since then, Pooh has become a world-famous bear, and Milne’s stories have been translated into seventy-two languages.
E.H.Shepard was born in London in 1879. He was an artist, illustrator and cartoonist and went on to draw the original decorations to accompany Milne’s classic stories, earning him the name ‘the man who drew Pooh’.
