Synopsis

It was in 1928, on the publication of The House at Pooh Corner, when Christopher Robin said good-bye to Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood. Now they are all back in new adventures, for the first time approved by the Trustees of the Pooh Properties. This is a companion volume that truly captures the style of A. A. Milne—a worthy sequel to The House at Pooh Corner and Winnie-the-Pooh.

Very useful exercise to help a reader understand just how good, how subtle, how controlled A. A. Milne is. And this isn't. Resolutely unengaging. He should have written something, anything, else.......more

Vljeh. This is definitely not Winnie-the-Pooh I love so much. Children might like this book, but it has lost all the magic, innocence and wit that made Winnie-the-Pooh favorite for many adults.......more
