Synopsis

For the 90th anniversary of Winnie-the-Pooh, a sequel featuring new stories and a new character from the Hundred Acre Wood.

Now a New York Times Bestseller. 

The Trustees of the Pooh Properties have commissioned four authors to write in the timeless style of A.A. Milne to create a quartet of charming new adventures for Winnie-the-Pooh, Christopher Robin, and their friends. Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall: take a trip back to the Hundred Acre Wood with a collection of tales sure to delight year-round.

One story finds Winnie-the-Pooh and Piglet on a quest to discover the "Sauce of the Nile" (they suspect it's apple). And in another, all the animals rally around poor Eeyore when he thinks he sees another donkey eyeing his clover. The winter story features a new penguin character, based on a stuffed toy owned by Christopher Robin Milne himself. Readers of all ages will love rediscovering old friends and making new ones in this essential new volume of Pooh stories.

The book feature beautiful color artwork in the style of Ernest H. Shepard by Mark Burgess.

Goodreads review by Rachel on April 11, 2022

This was a nice anthology of stories by different authors about Winnie m-the-Pooh and his friends in the Hundred Acre Woods. My least favorite story has to be Spring because I just feel Eeyore was made more annoying than he originally is. He may be pessimistic but he’s still likeable but this one wa......more

Some pretty decent writers do passable impressions of A. A. Milne around some nice illustrations in the style of E. H. Shepard.

Winnie-der-Pu, wer hat nicht schon von diesen liebenswerten, gutgläubigen und total hönigverrückten Bären gehört?

Goodreads review by Wilde on May 10, 2018

Four tales about a bear and his friends, each of which takes place in a different seasons - spring, summer, autumn and winter. The short stories were quite entertaining, but they lacked some of the charm of the originals (so my overall rating is 3.5). I expect children (and quite a few adults) will......more
