A.A. Milne's first collection of stories about his son's endearing and not-very-bright toy bear and his friends, "Winnie-the-Pooh" is the original source material for one of children's literature's most enduring and beloved characters. Edward Bear (also known as Winnie) is the simple, easy-going companion to young Christopher Robin. He and his friends (Christopher Robin's other stuffed animals - Eeyore the Donkey, Piglet, Rabbit, Owl, Kanga and Baby Roo) are the inhabitants of the imaginary Hundred Acre Wood. We follow Pooh Bear as he tries to extract honey from a beehive, overstays his welcome at Rabbit's house, attempts to find Eeyore's missing tail and hunts for the elusive Heffalump.
Sweet-natured, full of sly humor and enhanced with illustrations by the original artist, E.H. Shepard, "Winnie-the-Pooh" has remained a classic of children's literature for decades and the characters have been immortalized in countless screen and television adaptations.
The stories are presented here in their original and unabridged form.

A.A. Milne, Alan Alexander Milne, 1882-1956, britisk humorist, dramatiker og børnebogsforfatter.
Navnlig kendt for sine tilsyneladende enkle fortællinger om Winnie-the-Pooh (Peter Plys) og andre meget menneskelige tøjdyr, hvis problemer og bekymringer har bud til både børn og voksne: Winnie-the-Pooh (1926, da. Peter Plys, 1930) og The House at Pooh Corner (1928, da. Peter Plys og hans Venner, 1931).
Milne indledte sin forfatterkarriere med underholdende scenedramatik og skrev også nogle romaner, herunder detektivromanen The Red House Mystery (1922). Men ud over fortællingerne om Peter Plys er kun The Toad of Toad Hall (1929), som er hans scenebearbejdelse af Kenneth Grahames The Wind in the Willows, (Vinden i piletræerne), blevet stående, med status som traditionelt engelsk juleskuespil.
