A.A.Milne: When We Were Very Young, illustrated by E.H. Shepard

NEW stunning hardback edition showcasing the original E.H.Shepard art with Milne's classic, timeless poetry for children.'Hush! Hush! Whisper who dares! Christopher Robin is saying his prayers!'

E.H.Shepard's original, iconic artwork has been reproduced for this 100th anniversary range so it truly pays homage to the vividness of the original art that accompanied Milne's classic, favourite stories.

In this famous collection of verse for children, we join Christopher Robin and his friends for a trip to Buckingham Palace, learn what a King likes for his breakfast and meet a much-loved bear for the very first time.

This special 100th anniversary hardback collection is a heart-warming and funny introduction to children's poetry, offering the same sense of humour, imagination and whimsy that we've come to expect from Milne's favourite books about Winnie-the-Pooh, that Bear of Very Little Brain.

This book is all the more special due to E.H.Shepard's decorations, which are shown in full, glorious colour. They are truly iconic and contributed to him being known as 'the man who drew Pooh'.

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 entirely captured the charm of Pooh's world, created by Milne, resulting in the gorgeous books we all know and love.
