E.H.Shepard’s original, iconic artwork has been reproduced for the cover of this audio edition, so it pays homage to the vividness of the original art that accompanied A.A.Milne’s classic, favourite stories.
Milne and Shepard had a unique working relationship for their time, in that they closely collaborated on the design of the storybooks and poetry. This joint approach to laying out the words and illustrations was clearly the perfect partnership; Shepard captured the visual charm of Pooh’s world, created by Milne, resulting in the gorgeous print books we all know and love. Milne’s captivating writing can be enjoyed in a whole new way in the audio editions that can be enjoyed by fans of all ages.
The nation’s favourite teddy bear has been delighting generations of children for one hundred years. Milne’s classic children’s stories – featuring Piglet, Eeyore, Christopher Robin and, of course, Pooh himself – are gently humorous while teaching lessons about friendship and kindness.
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.

Some retro reviews of the original publication in the 1920s:
“I prophesy that Mr. Milne’s latest book of verses, ‘Now We Are Six,’ will appeal to grown-ups as much as to the public for whom it is primarily intended.”, The Daily Express, 10th November 1927
“When 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
